Igor Baksht from Denver bought a PlayStation 4 for Christmas at Walmart in Stapleton a few days prior to Christmas. The console was meant as a present for his niece, but when Baksht looked to see that all was included when wrapping it he was in for a surprise.

"Just to make sure everything was inside, that all the contents were inside, all the games were inside. When I opened it, I said, 'Oh my God," said Baksht to Denver's KMGH-TV.

The box didn't contain a console, games or accessories. Instead there were two rocks. Walmart refused to refund Baksht at first, as they (quite correctly) pointed out that Baksht himself could have placed the rocks there. After the segment on TV Walmart decided to pay. Now what we're curious about is whether the box was factory sealed when sold at Walmart and who it was that actually placed the rocks in the box. But that is likely one mystery we'll never know the answer to...
