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 fraudAs you may have noticed, I haven't been around for close to 2 months. Well, I should have an excess of free time for the next few months, so you should be seeing more of me here. Yeah, that's right... the big, bad, evil, tyrannical administrator is back. Phear. :p
