Default How not to pay off your debts --- lol

She probably thought this was a good idea at the time:

From cnn.com

A German supermarket check-out worker stashed the day's takings into her shoes and hit herself over the head, pretending she had been held up and attacked by a robber, Bavarian police said on Thursday.

The 26 year-old woman told police she was alone in the south German store when a masked man forced her at gun-point to fill his pockets and several bags with money from the shop's cash box before knocking her unconscious with a blow to her head.

Police became suspicious after medical examinations revealed the woman's head injury didn't match up to her description of the attack. The woman then confessed she had hit herself on the head with a blunt object and stolen the money to pay off debts.

That sure must have been a painful way to (unsuccessfully) try and pay off the debts.

Trying to pay of your debts that way is not the answer.

I have no doubt that this woman was hit over the head, but I think she did when was born.

Good stuff. If more dumb people would do this, we'd know who they were at least.

Desperation will make some people do some silly things. Guess her job didn't offer overtime...
