Jailbird mails himself out of prison...

Jail Prisoner mails himself to freedom

From Ananova news:

A convict convicted of fraud was able to make good his escape from a high security jail in Germany. He was able to climb into a cardboard box and mailed himself to freedom.

Max Friedener, who is 28, was able to escape from a prison in Darmstadt Germany was hiding in the box in the prison mailroom. He was able to escape from the mail van as it was driving away.

The escape was only noticed when the mail truck arrived at the sorting facility the hole in the box was spotted by postal authorities....

(gee there is a hole in the box from this prison...)

It is the second time a convict has earned a ticket to ride by using the mail system.

(ticket to ride - the beatles)

Only last month a convict in neighboring Austria escaped from a jail in Graz, a prisoner by mailing himself out in a large box that was supposed to contain lamp post parts. Would you believe that both escapees are still at large.
