For clever people, question about broken iPod/cheating the system?

Question

My new iPod shuffle clip clips a little too well, I think. At work I looked down while taking out the garbage and noticed it had disappeared from my pants pocket. I thought it got caught in the dumpster but my boss gave it to me today because he found it in the giant dishwasher! It got caught on one of the giant metal racks as I was putting it in there. Needless to say it's broken and has considerable pressure, heat and water damage done to it.

Here's where I need some advice. I'm going to call Apple to try and get a replacement and I need a good allaby for what happened to it because they will not replace it if I tell them what really happened. It doesn't look too banged up, they might buy it if I say I stepped on it or something. Should I break the clip off and say it broke and got stepped on? Any advice? IT'S WORTH A SHOT PEOPLE OKAY I don't need you telling me it's not going to work.
