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

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.

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
