Man buys clay iPad, gets put in jail for wanting refund

I think the sentence "A quick check had revealed that the iPad Tesco believed was in the box had already been activated.", needs to be written so it may not be interpreted incorrectly, was it activated prior to the purchase, after it, who checked it, when was it checked (before/during/after the arrest) etc.

The author seems to have a bit of a problem with Tesco, in fact it seems that they have a gigantic problem with Tesco given the tone and attack on Tesco. Given the amount of fraud large (and small) retailers are faced with every day they are probably a little cautious when someone brings in a box of clay and makes such an accusation. This is not a justification, but rather pointing out the fact that in the real world, that there are a lot of people who try to rip business off.

3 hours in jail, that could be seen a little excessive but it is better than a month.
