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.
