In the same week as Ashley McDowell scored herself that sweet wooden iPad comes word that a couple of women made out even better. $250 for a laptop? Good deal...aside from the part where you discover it's made out of paper.
Police said two women were approached by a man Wednesday night at a Spinx gas station who said he had laptop computers, iPads and iPods in FedEx boxes. He claimed he had gotten them at a discounted price.
According to investigators, the man offered to sell the women a laptop. They said after getting cash from an ATM, the women left with what they thought was a laptop but later discovered the box contained a white power cord and a stack of paper wrapped in black duct tape.
Investigators said the man who sold it is described as having gold teeth and was with another man in a white four-door car.
If you recall, one of the men in the iPad case was also said to have a gold tooth. This, unsurprisingly, is leading local police to speculate that the two incidents might just be related, though they can't say for sure. It'd be one hell of a coincidence if they somehow weren't, no?
We'll be sure to update you all when an arrest is made, or more likely when another of Spartanburg's best and brightest buys a surround sound system made out of bricks.
