If the clerk looks, they will be able to tell you switched the numbers- the edges peel from where the blade is used to lift the serial tape, and some have the "void" tape adheasive so it shows up big-time!
Also, when they get the item sent back and it gets bounced from the facory reps as tampered, they can come back at you if they have your information- then it becomes retail fraud... and with most PDAs being over $100, most states concider that a felony...
I would look for one on eBay and take your losses. Stuff breaks- but if you wanted to risk jail time, then go for it.
It can be done, and you can get busted- its all chance...

I'm assuming you have a fairly recent model, if this isn't the case this won't work at all. If it is then you can probably do it.
If you buy a new one and swap it without destroying the packaging then a cashier who does the return will almost certainly not pull it out to look. They may check to make sure that it is indeed in there with all the parts, but I've worked retail for over a year and nobody checks serial numbers. I'm not sure the manufacturer won't check, but the returns just get defected out from the store and it's the manufacturers problem then. If you pay with cash or a gift card they won't be able to track you, but cash returns are always more suspicious. Again, this has to be a recent model or they likely won't allow a return.

I vote for LOL. Throw it out and chalk it as much as revel in. Don't quit on intercourse toys, despite the fact that. Those that paintings will also be exceptional a laugh. But do use them responsibly -- severely. You fairly do not wish to be a kind of men and women who finally ends up on "Gruesome Tales from the ER" or whatever in view that of a few dull/bizarre factor you have been doing. I have a buddy who is an ER nurse, and he or she does not even chortle anymore as she tells the experiences of what men and women (almost always guys?!) have performed to themselves and others in pursuit of sexual pride. Have a laugh! ; )

Each device has a serial number. So it is easy to check if this is the same device which they sent out.
Beside that this illegal you need a bunch of luck...
