In the first incident, on March 27, Hosea Crumpler of Troy found what appeared to be a new razor in a black case in a McDonald's restroom, police said.

When the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute student plugged it in at home, the razor blew up

Is it a common practice to use mysterious razors found in the back of McDonalds's?

"Mahar said Wednesday: "We determined that someone put it in the restroom waiting for someone else to find it."

On Oct. 12, James Burdick, 44, tried to use a different brand razor that his wife bought at a Price Chopper store in Bennington, Vt., 30 miles from Troy. The razor exploded when it was plugged in at his home.

Burdick suffered minor injuries, mostly burns and cuts, and did not require hospitalization.

Police said whoever rigged the razor may have planted it in the Vermont store. Price Chopper spokeswoman Mona Galub said the store chain does not carry that brand of razor."

How do u buy something that a store doesn't carry?
