Man buys clay iPad, gets put in jail for wanting refund

It's custom in most stores to include the product in the box when it is sold to you.
We think of it as fair exchange, even if the price might sometimes be high.
A man in the United Kingdom, however, wondered about the equity of a transaction, when he bought an iPad from retailer Tesco.
You see, he had a small issue with the iPad: there wasn't actually an iPad in the box. Instead, as The Telegraph reported last week, there were pieces of clay.
Colin Marsh, who owns two bakeries, went back to Tesco, but his pleas fell on clay ears.
While he remonstrated about spending 470 British pounds (around $757) for a non-existent iPad, the staff reported him to the police.
A quick check had revealed that the iPad Tesco believed was in the box had already been activated.
The police called Marsh and invited him for a friendly chat. When he arrived, he was put in a jail cell for three hours.
Indeed, it took him two months to get allegations of fraud dropped.
