MISSION BEACH, Calif. (10News) - The oddest thing happened to a Mission Beach man this Christmas. Twice.

Jim Nevarde bought an iPod Classic for his wife at the Mira Mesa Target. However, when she opened it Christmas morning all she found was school erasers and index cards.

“About five of them fit exactly in the space where the iPod goes,” he said.

“It was a little strange,” understated Nevarde, who just spent $293 on the iPod and its warranty. “Obviously, somebody got in there and rewrapped it with shrink-wrap.”

He had to wait until Thursday to return the erasers and hope someone believed him.

“It is a crazy story,” Nevarde thought as he walked into a different Target store, this time in the Midway area.

3. Probably not.

The people in Target were cool and replaced his iPod. However this time, Nevarde had the clerk open it before he left. You wouldn’t believe it:

2. I wonder if the Target clerk grabbed one off the shelf for him

or if he brought it to customer service himself. If the clerk retrieved it, they have a HUGE problem on their hands.
