Xbox 360 gutted and successfully returned for cash

I don’t know about you, but every time I’ve ever returned something of an electronic nature to a store, it’s checked inside and out before the store accepts and refunds money. Apparently there’s a store out there that doesn’t put a priority on checking, as someone was able to return a gutted Xbox 360 to some unnamed store for a full refund.

CVG has pictures of the returned console, which has been stuffed with paper, cardboard, “some VGA cables for a computer and an old parallel printer cable.” 

The fooled employee tries to blame the incident on girls: “the guy that was working that morning was by himself, so we cannot under any circumstances leave the dept. So the girls that work at the service desk were told to see if everything is in the box, and approve,” he continues. “Obviously they did not do a very good job.” Be a man, dude. Own up!

You thought this story was an urban legend, didn’t you? Now there’s a guy out there with the innards of an Xbox 360 and a few hundred dollars; he’s a real legend! Also, he’s a piece of crap.
