This is HILARIOUS!
This is even better than the VCR scam where you get a box full of bricks:
- SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- A rash of oven-door thefts may be linked to a recent case in which a woman bought what she thought was a flat-screen TV, only to discover that the package held an old oven door, police said.
We can hardly wait for this scam to move into the City. Someone MUST tell us when it does, because we're going to steer a lot of business in that direction. We're still laughing at this one.

I am first wooohooo...Go White Sox, nice home opener. As far as getting scammed on a $1500 flat screen, I think that dude should be given the criminal of the month award.
I'm trying to watch the morning news on my brand new flat screen tv but am not gettign a picture.
However, I was able to bake a cake on it.
Be careful...... Some southside officers are getting TOO many bright ideas.
Go Cubs!!!!!
An even better opener than the Sux.
WTF!!! just found out my New Computer Monitor is a Micro wave oven Door!!!!! Tommabunz 011
I fooled them, I bought an oven door off a guy who was selling them from the trunk of his car for 10 bucks, I got a new plasma 40 inch tv instead.
You have to think ahead.
Area 2 Gun Team Guy.

BLOWAGOATBITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got to love those area 2 gun guys...they are soooo smart and still have MUSCLES to boot. LOL.
Years ago, there was a scam involving buying VCR's that turned out to be house bricks! Gotta love the "street entepreneurs"! Who has more fun than the Po-lice?
You GET what you PAY for.
Even more years ago the VCR's were a case of liquor. It's a veriation of the old "Bait and Switch" that was practiced on a regular basis every Sunday around Halsted and Maxwell.
WOW!!! I just bought a brand new oven and instead I just recieved a new plasma TV thanks guys.
Just noticed 1315 signatures on the Petition, how many coppers on CPD, maybe alot of people haven't got the word about this petition?
Not as big as a disgrace as Clinton, who was IMPEACHED.
Heard the City just bought a new squad cars, only they were really cardboard boxes spray painted, with wheels on them...

Which reminds me, back during the Christmas of '87, a guy I used to go to school with showed up at the local district station to report he had been taken. He bought not one, but TWO "VCR's" that were actually bricks. Outside of a store, a dude shows him the bargain VCR and has a stack of shrinkwrapped boxes behind him.
It was all I could do to keep from busting up laughing, but I had to give it to him for coming in and reporting the scam, and the fact that he was a chump.
No verdict has been rendered yet Lefty. We still think he'll walk from the charges. Too bad he had to give up his seat, but he was becoming a distraction. At least he resigns from the game undefeated.
What did White Sox fans get today you ask? The enjoyment of watching their team, the WORLD SERIES CHAMPION CHICAGO WHITE SOX receive their World Series rings.
What did Cub fans get today you ask? An inept team and the promise that this is going to be another long year filled with misery. MAYBE they will be a 500 ball club. But I doubt it.
So you can go ahead and make fun of the White Sox, their fans,the neighborhood or whatever else you care to but the bottom line is that the White Sox are WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS and your team, the Cubs are not nor will they ever be.
BTW, I'm a northsider and I don't live too far from Wrigley Field. But I wouldn't waste one minute or dollar to go watch a team that consistently loses year after year when I can go watch the White Sox and see some winners play exciting, winning baseball. And I won't resort to childish behavior or name calling when I refer to the Cubs as do some of the children that post here.
Grow the fuck up little boy.
You're exactly the type of dork that I love fucking with.
I'll still be at the Cubs game this weekend, getting drunk and stupid, AND checking out the cub bunnies in pink with hooters busting out of their shirts.
You know what else? I'll be having a fucking blast!!!
Shove those fucking rings up your ass.
As I said, grow the fuck up little boy.
I bought a laptop. Let me show you. Oh hold on... it won't open.
Damn thing. Hmm... it has a handle on the front, sorta like a door handle. Hmm. But ti has HP scrawled in white, looks like whiteout in the corner.
Give me a second. Maybe if I bang it a little to pry it open..
It was the 1984. In the rear parking lot of Sears 63/Western. My boyfriend bought a vcr from the back of a guy's trunk, completely shrink wrapped like the real thing.
$50.00! He got it for his mother for Christmas, decided he would have it all set up for her and surprise her. Upon removing the cellophane ( drum roll please )Open the factory printed box, there were 7 BRICKS!!! I laughed so hard I pee'd my pants!!
10:18: Did it also come with a warranty? LMAO
There was this one time I bought these 5 rocks from this guy on Avers and Augusta. They came in their usual cellophane bags. When I got home and tried to smoke one, it wouldn't light! I found out it was drywall! I went to the police station and wanted to make a report but the rude policeman behind the desk just laughed!
I really hate you guys.
