BERLIN (Reuters) - A German woman left her friend as a deposit at a gas station because she did not have enough cash to pay for her petrol, police said Wednesday.

"She didn't have enough money to pay the bill, so her friend stayed behind as a human deposit while she went to withdraw cash," said a spokesman for police in the southern town of Muenchberg. "Unfortunately, the woman did not return."

Two hours after the 20-year-old driver left, the gas station called the police, who interrogated the stranded "deposit" before releasing her. Police are investigating the driver on suspicion of fraud.

Hey buddy; I need some gas money. Wanna be my credit card??

[rhombus]

With friends like that...

Maybe she drove away to join a third party (sorry folks, I couldn't resist).

Did the 'deposit' look like this?

"Unfortunately, the woman did not return."



What? Can't they take a joke?

My wife keeps telling me that women-woman friends are structurally different than the male friends us guys have. After this, I may start to believe her.

Kinda makes those sob stories about Americans selling their jewelry for gas money, a lot less sympathetic. ;^)

Better to be left at the gas stationas a deposit, than to be left in the water alongside the bridge.

Hey Ted - how about wind farms to reduce our foreign oil dependance.
Or at least let's resume whaling.
I know both put your view of the ocean at risk.

I ran out of gas on the Autobahn once, thanks to an idiot friend who insisted we could make it to the next gas stop. It was over 70 miles between gas stops and there are even warning signs telling you not to get on if you do not have enough gas. The police were kind enough to give me a ride to the next exit and he and the attendant had a good laugh while she took me to the "cleaners". I had to buy a very expensive gas can, 5 liters I beleive, and the gas to fill it up. We did go about 130 mph each way which was pretty cool. His car was a Mercedes diesel. We were in a Volkwagen minivan with a governor set at 90 mph. We were eating dust the whole time. Tourists!

Oh no, she didn't! What a goofy story.

I've got these Rolexes that just came in and my Boss said he would fire me if I don't sell them all by the end of the day....

Women have far different definitions for the word "friend"

Witness Heather Locklear's "friend".

This happens more than you know. I own a Phillips 66 gas station in West Texas and more than once the drivers have left their buddy here while they go to an ATM. I never really considered what I would do if their bud never came back, though.

[Redcitizen]

Wow, I never thought of that. It seems like a rare situation to me.

[Old Professer]

Maybe that's what we need on the border, pawnshops.

Your not saying -How much for my seester are you?

[unixfox]

Women never forget ANYTHING a man says, but can forget to leave her girlfriend?

That just aint right.

Jose, does your sister look like this? If she does, we can work something out.
