According to an article on CNN a woman faked her own kidnapping to avoid having to go to work to repay a colleague a debt.

Police in the Bavarian town of Straubing said on Wednesday they had launched a massive search throughout the region for the woman who disappeared on December 23 but turned up unscathed the following morning, saying the kidnapper had set her free.

spokesman said the woman was questioned over the Christmas holiday and admitted she made up the story because she owed a colleague 25 euros ($32.9) and did not have the money to pay her debt. She now faces a fine of up to 1,000 euros.

Now...she is stupid!

Straubing. Now that's a weird town. Visited it a few times. Can't say I'd want to live there.
