Expensive journey home after bachelor party: Lichtenfels resident unable to pay taxi fare
A young man from Lichtenfels in Upper Franconia celebrated his impending farewell to bachelorhood with friends in the Bavarian capital. So far, so traditional. But at some point during the night, he first lost sight of his friends, then his phone. And apparently, his sense of direction wasn't much better either.
Despite the help of a taxi driver, the man was unable to find his accommodation in Munich. The driver finally suggested taking him directly home – about 230 kilometers north. The passenger agreed. Whether in the belief that everything might be easier at home remains unclear.
The journey ended in Lichtenfels, but the evening was not over yet. When it came to paying, the man tried to make a getaway. The driver had charged 800 euros for the nighttime tour – not a small amount, but with the distance, it's no wonder. The chauffeur, apparently not entirely unprepared for such situations, did not let his passenger escape and held him until the police arrived.
The officers took over the case. Besides the impact on the wedding budget, the soon-to-be groom now also faces criminal proceedings for fraud.
What remains is a lesson that will probably stay in memory longer than the actual celebration: Those who lose their bearings should not also lose their composure. And if one wants to afford a taxi home, they should not forget their wallet beforehand.
