This has brought much amusement to me and Roy in the office today.
Two men who kidnapped a Ferrari owner and demanded a ransom of 10 million yuan (£1m) were arrested in Hangzhou last week. The mother of the victim found her son’s red Ferrari in the middle of the road leading to their house on Aug 23rd. The door of the super-expensive car was wide open and her son’s slippers were on the road.
She rushed back to her house and phoned the police, just minutes before the abductors called with their ransom demand. The police immediately swung into action and found the suspects, named Chen and Yu, the next morning.
The suspects told the police that they were deep in debt after a failed business venture and had brainstormed the idea to kidnap a rich man.
Another jewel from the China Daily.
Nice to hear you back in Nanjing. I think your previous post ("Qualified Teachers Need Not Apply") is a much better jewel.
Cheers,
