Stupid alert...

You have to wonder about the intelligence level of people sometimes... I don't know who to feel more sorrier for..

BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- German police are investigating after an angry man returned a computer he had just bought saying it was packed with small potatoes instead of computer parts.

The store replaced the computer free of charge but became suspicious when he returned a short time later with another potato-filled computer casing, police in the western city of Kaiserslautern said on Monday.

"The second time he said he didn't need a computer any more and asked for his money back in cash," a police spokesman said.

Police are now investigating the man for fraud.

I would have been suspicious the first time.....lol

I would have been suspicious as well. One question comes to mind : Could they be smuggling potatoes ? |o| j/k

Good laugh though.

thats the lamest excuse you could ever make to refund a computer. its full of potatoes. hell, if i were running the store id be like yea, go shove those potatoes up your @$$. gosh, if hes going to commit fraud, he could have at least had a good excuse to do it. btw agent steal, nice quote from the usual suspects.

I lived in germany and let me tell you one thing, they LOVE potatos.

And germans love bananas. Ahem. perhaps the story would been better had he stuffed them full of those.

Sounds like something right out of a real world Monty Python Script.

How dumb do you have to be to try and pull the same scam twice on the store?

Maybe if he's mashed the potatoes the second time, so it wasn't exactly the same.

You'd be surprised how repetitive people can be in scams. There was a man a few years ago who would walk into my store once every other month, go get a product off the shelf and return it at the service desk for a cash refund. And yes, at Jewel food stores items returned valued under $10 can be returned without a receipt ;)

LMAO.

I would have thought this thread should have been in tech humor, i laughed so much.

But seriously the customer is always right. I watched the owner of the business that i work for hand over £10.00 worth of takeaway to a lady the other day. She had said that she had ordered the day befor and the food had given her sarminella.

I did ask him afterwards if he was on drugs. Apparently if you do to much wizz you get paranoid,lol

Thank you for the welcome groovicus. I won't be posting one liners like "LMAO" from now on...

I'm still reading through most of the forums.

Regards,
Solid_Reality.
