The theft of the century was pulled off in Montbeliard, France last September - a crime so masterfully coordinated that we're only just now hearing about it. As French newspaper reported (translated by ), a 19-year-old French man named Adel successf❀ully purchased a brand-🀅new PS4 for £7.86 (around $9) at a supermarket in Montbeliard by ringing it up as fruit.  

It's exactly what it sounds like. Adel took a PS4 from the store's electronics department, weighed it on a scale ꦿin the fruit section, and printed a new price tag for it, which he then scanned in at a self-checkout station. It's hardly a new scam, but I have to admit, I've never heard of anyone trying it with a PS4 and fruit. Anyway, don't do this - with anything.

, we can estimate that Adel rang up his PS4 as either tomatoes or apples. Mystery solved. Probably. 

Whatever fruit it was, apparently a PS4 is worth £7.86 of it by weight. A 1TB PS4 is about £300 on so that's a pretty significant - and very illegal - discount. Yet somehow, Adel got away with this. Not only that, he then sold his ill-gotten PS4 for £87.43 (around $115) in order to pay for a ticket to Nice, France. Oh, but it gets better: Adel returned to the same supermarket the very next day and tried the exact same s▨cam again. Wouldn't you know it, he was caught and arrested this time. After failing to appear for his court hearing, Ade🐼l was recently sentenced to four months in prison. I wonder if the train ticket was worth it? 

This is one of the stupidest scams I've seen since this staggeringly obvious Kickstarter ripoff.
