Pack Up Your Troubles

Or, if not your troubles, how about your friends? A 19-year old woman in Germany has escaped a detention center, packed up inside another inmate's suitcase.

HANOVER, Germany (AFP) - A 19-year-old woman appears to have escaped from a juvenile detention centre in northwest Germany by hiding in the suitcase of a fellow inmate who was released, police said on Monday.

Guards at the facility in Neustadt remarked that the suitcase of the 18-year-old who walked free on Friday was particularly heavy but failed to search it, the police said.

Apparently, there is no IQ test for the position of guard at a German detention center. Authorities have been unable to locate either one of the women. Which means they're probably living next door to the center.
