A German man making a routine trip to the police station to reclaim his stolen car ended up being busted for drunken driving twice in the same day, police said on Wednesday.
In order to claim the recovered car, the 45-year-old had driven to the station in another vehicle, police in the western city of Marburg said.
After officers noticed alcohol on his breath, a test showed he was over the legal limit and his driving licence and keys were confiscated.
”Officers could not quite believe it when they came across the same man driving his car four hours later,” police said.
”He had been drinking in the meantime and a fresh test showed he was even more over the limit,” they said. They called the man’s partner to come and pick him up and made sure she drove him home. — Reuters
