SPARTANBURG, SC (WIS) - Spartanburg County deputies are looking for two men who sold a piece of wood painted to look like an iPad to a woman in a McDonald's parking lot.

Ashley McDowell, 22, told deputies she was buying food around 10:00 p.m. Monday when two men approached her in the parking lot trying to sell her an iPad or a laptop. According to a police report, the men showed McDowell a new iPad and told her they had bought several in bulk.

McDowell said she gave the men $180, and the men gave her a FedEx box out of the trunk of their car. When McDowell opened the box at home, she said she found a piece of wood painted black with an Apple logo.

McDowell told deputies one of the suspects had a gold tooth and was driving a white Chevy Impala with no rims and no tint.

It's people like Ms. McDowell that got Obama elected.

Too bad there's no picture of her. Or better yet, her address.

I have some gold bars I'd be willing to FedEx her, for a really good price!

Wait a minute, I think I know this guy! Was he wearing a red, wide-brim hat with a long feather in it? And did he also have a long, fluffy, white boa draped around his neck?

Yeah, keep laughing. You know she was just using your taxpayer money to buy it.

Yep, she used some of that 'Obamma Stash' to buy a block of wood.

Even more stupid, she called the cops..... ROFLMAO

Probably has 5 kids from 5 different Baby Daddies that all have gold teeth too...

I've heard of bad knock-offs, but an "iPad" colored using magic markers should be the first clue its not genuine.

Sounds like the guys wasted their time painting the piece of wood and putting the Apple logo on it.

It would be ironic if it was made out of apple wood.

I bought a hamburger once at the McDonald's drive-thru window that tasted like wood.

If that wood is from India, the federal government may confiscate it.
