BERLIN (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 Monday.

4. My favorite part of this story

is that they became suspicious the second time he brought back a potato-filled computer. :D

5. heh

he could at least have used Potato-chips instead.

A few years ago the same scam scam was tried with bricks instead of unprocessed (potato-)chips. :shrug: maybe the same guy
