fake laptop
there was a scam going for a while where somebody person rolls up to you with a camera or laptop computer wrapped up in some sort of nice-looking packaging, offering to sell it to you for super cheap on the condition that you can’t open the packaging first (which, as everyone knows, would lower the resale value). you’re led to believe that it is stolen off a truck or something, but in any event, a web is spun, money exchanges and you unwrap… a piece of painted wood.
it sucks but the few pictures i saw of the scam were pretty good. i mean as “folk art” it was pretty nice. so we had these fake laptops made. see the keyboard, and the touchpad, and the screen? our technicians did a really good job with this.
mike benedetti uses one of these on the snow ghost show.
