Man Fakes Kidnapping To Hide Crash From Wife
POSTED: 12:27 am EST February 14, 2007
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- Police said a California man admitted faking his own kidnapping to keep his wife from finding out he crashed her new car.
Police in San Rafael said the 35-year-old told authorities two kidnappers held him up at gunpoint, so he decided to purposely crash the car into a wall to escape.
Under questioning he admitted making the whole story up. A police spokeswoman said the man was worried about how his wife would react to her car being wrecked.
The man could face criminal charges for making a false report.
There's something very romantic about a man being terrified of his wife.
Frankly, he may be better off in jail.
I can understand being so afraid of the witch that I would do something like that. Guaranteed, she has his testicles in a lockbox.
"Honey, I not only crashed the car, but I lied to you and police about it and I may go to jail. Do you still love me?"
What a wuss. He should have gone home, told his wife he wrecked her car on purpose, and ordered her to make him a pot pie.
At least that's what I would have done!
Because my wife doesn't scare me..... much.
ROTFL
Nah, she's not domineering, she just walks on the ground I worship. Seriously though I'm the man of the house (as long as the missus is not around)

I'm sure your wife agrees. There just may be some disagreement on what that means...
You'll have to ask her. She makes the rules. After 35+ years I've learned to just not to argue because I'll never win.
I chose long ago not to even argue with my wife. If we argue it cuts into my beer drinking time.
COULD??
The first 3 words that came to my mind.
The cops probably feel pity for him, lol.
In fact, Jorge Alberto Mejia, 35, made up the entire story as part of an elaborate excuse for crashing his wife's new Ford Focus, police said.
"We're still evaluating whether we'll file any charges against him," said San Rafael police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher, noting that filing a false police report is a crime. "As far as we can tell, he was alone in the car and was not injured. In the course of our investigation, we have determined that no crime occurred."
Mejia had reported to police Saturday that two abductors had ordered him at gunpoint to drive from a San Rafael bar to Santa Rosa, where he crashed his car intentionally to escape. He provided detailed descriptions of the imagined abductors. The account was reported Sunday in the Independent Journal.
But Monday, as investigators questioned Mejia on the details of his account, he admitted he made up the tale, police said.
He told police he actually had gone to River Rock Casino in Geyserville when he accidently crashed the car he was driving - his wife's 2007 Focus - and could no longer drive it.
He made up the story because he was worried about his wife's reaction, Rohrbacher said.
San Rafael police said it was not clear where the collision occurred. Mejia apparently had been driving south on Highway 12 and was believed to be returning to Marin County when the crash occurred.
"The car was so new, it still had paper plates on it," Rohrbacher said.
Hah! What a wimp. I take he didn't win at the casino either. So he gambles on this BS story. What a loser.
I had a boss that used to joke around about how he'd just punch his wife in the throat if she talked back to him. One night he had us all over for dinner and when we showed up, his wife was wearing a turtleneck. Unfortunately for my boss, after a few drinks had been served a couple of my co-workers were laughing about the turtleneck and the wife heard them. When we all started laughing she demanded to know what we were laughing about.....
The look on my boss' face as he told his wife why we were laughing was priceless. I almost felt sorry for the prick as we were leaving.
