Man Orders TV On Amazon,Receives Assault Rifle
August 9, 2012
When D.C. resident Seth Horvitz ordered a flat-panel TV on Amazon, he didn’t expect to get a military-grade assault rifle in return.
Horvitz ordered the TV, a Westinghouse 39-inch LCD, for about $320 from a third-party electronics seller on Amazon.
On Tuesday evening, a large, oblong box arrived at his doorstep via UPS Ground.
“When I saw some metal parts inside the box, I thought, ‘Maybe this is a TV stand or mount or something,’” Horvitz said in a phone interview with Wired.
“When I realized it was an assault rifle, it was pure shock and disbelief.”

wish I was this lucky.
I guess props on him for calling the cops. I'd have kept the gun, not realized it was illegal, been caught with it, and wound up in prison. Just my luck.
Wouldn't complain at all!
