Police got an anonymous call Wednesday from someone who raised suspicions about a man who tried to sell him a huge flat screen television out of his beige 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass in the Wal-Mart parking lot. The witness said the seller told him he had bought the TV for $60 at a flea market and was selling it for only 100$... One 14th of the actual retail price !
Later that day, police stopped the Cutlass after spotting it driving through San Leandro....
In the back of the car, they found a box containing what appeared to be an expensive 37-inch flat-screen television. The television in question was wrapped in packaging material and had installation instructions on the back, a Best Buy price sticker for $1,949 and accompanying electric cables....

After taking a closer look to the item, the police officer discovered that the TV was in actuality a glass oven door cleverly disguised as a TV.
"It was very ingenious," Ballew said. "If you were a bargain hunter, you might think, 'Wow, this is the deal of the day."
Police confiscated the item, but no charges were filed in relation to its attempted sale.
