German Police Investigate Potato Computer Scam
Mon January 12, 2004 11:00 AM ET

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.

It worked the first time he claimed his computer was mashed, but he got busted when he went back for more gravy.

He didn't have a big enough steak in it.

I wonder how long it took them to realize that potatoes had been poutine the case?

Well, the first clue was that he was a Kurd.

I'd be pretty cheesed off too, but he looked more sour.

i was working at a wearhouse once and we received a box from the home depot that was supposed to have a chainsaw but only had rocks in it.

we had to give them credit for it nonetheless because they took the return and nobody can argue with the depot.
