Crims trade bag of spuds for iPods

Thursday, July 9, 2009
Cops in Germany are hunting a gang of Pommy crims who traded a bag of potatoes for a bag of Apple iPods.

The conmen convinced a bunch of gullible blokes from Brunswick, north Germany, to hand over nearly $1230 for what they believed to be a bag of MP3 players.

During the dodgy negotiations, the gang showed the customers laptops and mobile phones, before agreeing on a price for a bag of second-hand iPods.

After the deal was sealed, they opened the bag to find they’d been ripped off and given a 2kg bag of spuds instead.

It’s believed the crims weren’t Cockney (amazingly), spoke with perfect English and were driving a car with Pommy number plates. .

If the Pommy crims are caught, do you think the customers should be allowed to peg spuds at their head? Let us know in the comments section below.
