I saw this article earlier today. Pretty funny, but if he hadn't been greedy he would have gotten away with it. Would be a shame if this guy is telling the truth and gets busted anyways. :top:

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.
