German police investigate potato computer scam
Tuesday, January 13, 2004 Posted: 10:11 AM EST (1511 GMT)
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.

This same exact thing happened to me. That's why I will never again buy a Compaq.
