It's mind-boggling that anyone would be dumb enough to fall for this. Either that or she thought she was getting a stolen iPad cheap.

Many people are just too trusting. What is really dumb that she didn't open the box on the spot, if for no other reason to make sure it wasn't empty.

I wonder what kind of wood the McPad was made of?
Ironwood, which was then converted into steal ;-)

Are you positively sure it wasn't Apple (wood)?
Maybe they told her it was an Apple McPad and she just didn't hear it right?
Wow, she sure got taken. I only paid $150 for mine and it is made of genuine pine wood. Anyone know how to charge it? The manual turned to sawdust.
Apple. Obviously.
The guys should have been easy to catch, their car has no rims!
Obviously, NOT Apple.
P.S: McDognuts shoppers carry around that much money?

Probably just cashed her paycheck.
Ouch! That works out to $4.50/hr. Plus lunch.

Then the authorities come and kick in her door and confiscate her "woody iPad" and charge he for possession of a restricted species.

this issue falls 100% on the buyer.
My guess is she was not too trusting -- she was too dishonest. She figured they were "hot" and she wanted a piece of the action. The unfortunate thing is she lost only $180.
There are plenty of cliches that cover this, but "a fool and his/her money are soon parted" fits perfectly.
My question is how does someone that farking stupid make $180?
Oh yeah ... probably a welfare check.
Between the sealed FedEx boxes, the shabby car and the gold tooth, it probably looked like a "professional thief". So she thought she was getting a stolen product. He WAS a thief. He was just stealing from her.
That aside..., would you buy an electronic product from somebody in a fast food restaurant parking lot? With a gold tooth?

Exactly so. The basic principle of swindles is that you can't con an honest man.
But you can be both honest and greedy and be swindled ... 'Bernie Madeoff with billions' proved that.
