Mobile Matrimonial Wars continue
According to Chinese news service Xinhua, a Chinese woman in Weifang city in the eastern province of Shandong, set fire to 400 spanking new mobile phones in response to her husband leaving her.
37 year old "Mrs. Wang" seemed inclined to send a message to her hubby over the lack of bliss in their 
marriage. The Wang couple ran a successful phone retail business in Weifang. Weifang known as the Kite Capital of the World," is "flying high" due to its growth.
The surge in the Wang phone business had put the marriage on the rocks, and the couple frequently fought according to the Qilu Evening News. On March 3rd, after a "bitter row", the husband "slammed the door and left their home."
Wrought with despair, and crazed--or focused--with anger Mrs. Wang collected their entire stock of mobile phones, tossed them on the bed, set them afire and left. Acrid black smoke brought the fire brigade who quickly subdued the flames, but not before the handsets, valued at 300,000 Yuan (US$ 42,100) were consumed.
Mrs. Wang has been apprehended and charged with arson.
