Richie places his burger inside, hits the return key on the linked-up computer - and the burger disappears. But if he can teleport a half-eaten veggie-burger, what else could you do with the machine?For criminals, the possibilities are endless.

Richie buys a teleporter and takes it back to England, where the chaos begins ...
