Friend left as deposit at petrol station

A German woman left her friend as a deposit at a gas station because she did not have enough cash to pay for her petrol.

Two hours after the 20-year-old driver left, the gas station called the police, who interrogated the stranded "deposit" before releasing her. Police are investigating the driver on suspicion of fraud.

One of my first jobs was working at the weekend at a petrol station and this really happened to me. A guy filled up with petrol, but had no money and left his wife as a deposit. She was not a happy lady, especially when I reminded her that if he didn't return we could sell her after 6 months.

He did return. And she still wasn't happy.
