The old switcheroo!

I don't know how it happened but there I was at the cash machine paying for a new wireless router when a wave of criminal ingenuity washed over me. I suddenly figured out a way to get two items of almost anything for the price of one! Aaaaand here's how it works:

First go to a shop and buy something. It must be in a box where you can't see the contents.

Go back to the same shop a few days later carrying a bag containing the box from your previous purchase with the contents removed and replaced with something of equal weight.

<snip of incredibly cunning plan. As cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning.>
Walk out of the shop with your new €0 purchase.

*******

Profit!

!! I'm not gonna try this and you shouldn't either! Stealing is bad mmmkay... !!
