A little over 4,000 electronic devices met their untimely end trying to order online. Worst hit were the iPads. According to early statistics about 2,300 total iPads gave their electric lives in search of great deals.

Samsung phones were the next largest group destroyed. Combining numbers for all the Galaxy models, S3, S4, and various Galaxy Note editions, saw a lose of about 1,500 devices.

The remaining devices that lost their battle with online deals were a mixture of laptops, netbooks, Kindle devices, and other various smart phones.

Most devices met their end at the hands of their owners. People frustrated to find the item they were hoping to get “Out Of Stock” were throwing their devices in frustration. Nearly every device that was destroyed was said to either not be in a case or was in some cheep case.

Law Enforcement sources say there is not much the police can do at this point. One top police source tells us there is not much for them to investigate. If a store runs out of a product there is nothing illegal. Also if device owners break their own device no crime has been committed.

So far no reports of people being hurt or killed as a result of cyber Monday. Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to keep current on breaking news from CallTheCops
