One young car thief has learned something even Hansel and Gretel know: if you’re running from something, don’t go into the woods. Those thick storybook forests–and the monsters in them–still exist in Germany, as an 18-year-old ride-stealer recently discovered. He and a friend were on the lam from the German fuzz when they ditched their prize after ramming the police car. (And right here we see a pattern of bad decisions. Kids, stay in school!) As the driver made his nighttime escape deeper and deeper into the spooky woods, the cops apparently lost his trail until they heard his frantic calls for help: the would-be criminal had met up with a true leader of the pack, a large wild boar out for a leisurely walk with the family.

Since the wild boar can easily weigh hundreds of pounds and have the temper of Bill O’Reilly on a bad day, the kid quickly realized that being in police custody might not be the worst thing that could happen to him. After rescuing the cowardly car thief, the police then arrested him, since not even Little Red Riding Hood could give him a good alibi.
