Cunning thief or resourceful customer? Man swaps coffee machine for microwave

A man aged 53 showed ingenuity when he tried to avoid the price of a coffee machine in the Weiz District Court by paying for a microwave instead. The incident occurred at a local store when the defendant put the coffee maker in the packaging of a microwave to pay less. The action was discovered and the man is now on trial.

Mixing up the products could have serious consequences for the defendant, as theft or fraud could result in criminal penalties. Such attempts at deception not only harm business, but also jeopardize consumers' trust in the honesty of retailers.

It's important that stores and customers alike remain vigilant to detect and prevent fraud attempts. While it may seem tempting to avoid the price, doing so can have serious legal consequences.
