LIVERMORE FALLS - Four iBook Apple laptops stolen from the middle school last spring were found in the woods off Maple Street on Monday, police Chief Ernest Steward Jr. said.
The laptops, valued at more than $2,400 in all, were smashed and destroyed, he said.
'Somebody ripped the tops off,' Steward said.
A person visiting family in the area found the computers.
The school was broken into in May and the laptops, three teachers' and one student's, were taken along with a trumpet and the computer digital video recorder for the school's security camera system.
No one has been charged in the case.
'I came up with a video production business,' he said. 'I just thought it was something fun to do.'
He started with a $50 video camera. After winning a few competitions, he used prize money to buy a more expensive high-definition camera and other equipment for the business.
The company's business plan calls for completing 51 projects a year. That would generate a net profit of $16,221, he said.
NFTE is in place in 41 schools in Chicago and has reached more than 7,000 students since its launch here five years ago, said Chicago Executive Director Christine Poorman. 'It helps students think in a different way about their future and possibilities,' she said
