Car Washed Away During Toilet Break

/reuters/ A German driver who got out of his car on a hill to relieve himself found his car at the bottom of a river after he forgot to apply the hand brake, police said on Tuesday. "At first he tried to claim his car was stolen but the police immediately found this wasn't the case," said police spokeswoman Birgit Hoehn in the eastern German city of Leipzig. When the salvage team arrived the next morning, the car was already irreparable. "He can expect a fine for parking on the sidewalk and not securing the car properly," Hoehn said.
