A Florida couple thought they got a great bargain on a Baby Einstein baby bouncer at Goodwill. The bouncerĀ retails on Amazon for $99.99, but the one at Goodwill, which appeared to be in an unopened box, was just $9.99.
Veronica Alvarez-RodriguezĀ couldn't pass up the deal and purchased the bouncer as a baby shower gift for a friend. When the father-to-be opened the box, he wasĀ surprised to find a loaded Mossberg 715T semi-automatic rifle inside.
"Total shock for us,"Ā Alvarez-Rodriguez toldĀ WOFL-TV. "But also hilarious and just glad it came into safe hands with all of our husbands being military."Ā
They contacted the police, who came by and checked their IDs and told them they could keep the gun. The next day, authorities changed their mind andĀ asked them to turn over the weaponĀ while they investigate the incident.
Alvarez-RodriguezĀ shared the story on FacebookĀ and posted a video showing how the fully-assembled gun fit into the baby bouncer box.
