How can we trust them :O(

Spanish police have arrested a woman who faked her own kidnap to test whether her husband would pay a £17,000 ransom after police caught her preparing to spend the money in High Street sales.

The woman sent her husband a photograph of herself with her feet and hands bound.

The man received the photo on his mobile phone from someone claiming to be one of the kidnappers along with a text message demanding a ransom of 20,000 euros (£17,000) for her release, police said in a statement.

The ransom request was repeated in later text messages as well as warnings to the man not to go to the police, which he ignored.

Police launched a search and spotted her car, which they followed to a shopping mall in the town of Gandia on the Mediterranean coast.

At first she told police that she had been released that morning but later confessed to faking her abduction "to find out what her husband would be willing to do for her".

How do people come to believe they were abducted by three-breasted sexy female aliens?

The one question that my QL buddies always ask when I introduce the topic of alien abductions is how could anyone possibly really believe that such a thing had happened to them if they weren't just plain barking mad.

No one connection with britexpat's abduction!

I swear! :P

Bark..Bark!

Dont judge every woman on the basis of some nut-head. There are always exceptions.
