German Police Investigate Potato Computer Scam

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 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.

Where’d he buy it from? If it came from a computer store, I think he needed to think this one through a bit more.

That’s the most retarded thing I ever saw :yipee: one for the “heroic failures” award, methinks

That is one silly way to earn money. Or just a really cool way to pack potatoes. I’m not sure which one.

Im so trying that.

OK… That’s just stupid…
As in REALLY stupid…

You should use grapefruits, not potatoes :stuck_out_tongue:

Where does he buy his computers?
Sundance?

At least the store owner can’t complain it doesn’t have chips in it.:mwahaha:

…sorry. :thud:
