    German police investigate potato computer scam

    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.

    LMAO!! They were dumb to replace the computer in the first place. Reminds me of the stories about people returning an item but only putting a brick in the box. Some stores wouldn't open the box to check... sheesh.
