Perhaps the cops were going after him for false advertising...
Edit: A point made in jest, but in all seriousness, if he had actually advertised it as a 14-inch model, it would add to a reasonable suspicion that the laptop was not his.
You see this all the time with stolen bicycles advertised online. You can spot the stolen ones a mile off, because the seller doesn't have a clue what it is they are selling.
