First, I dont know many people who wouldnt fight to the bitter end if they ended up with two boxes full of rocks. And even if they did, why didnt they just go for a third ipod?

No, this doesn't seem plausible to me. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John P]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 9th 2007 1:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/birthday-girl-gets-two-rock-filled-ipod-boxes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/birthday-girl-gets-two-rock-filled-ipod-boxes/</guid><description><![CDATA["As it stands, Ms. Ritter is expecting some higher-ups to contact her and truly resolve this"<br><br>Sounds like she did to me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[something]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 9th 2007 2:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/birthday-girl-gets-two-rock-filled-ipod-boxes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/birthday-girl-gets-two-rock-filled-ipod-boxes/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's possible.

That stone now sits in my yard as a reminder of just how stupid I was.  <br>I think this lady tried to con the first store, and was able to switch the box of the second one before she opened it.  <br>Of course, I may still be jaded from being an idiot.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Smells Fishy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 9th 2007 1:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/birthday-girl-gets-two-rock-filled-ipod-boxes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/birthday-girl-gets-two-rock-filled-ipod-boxes/</guid><description><![CDATA[I used to work at a Wal-Mart in the Electronics Department.
