Seeking a place to get away from his girlfriend's incessant demands to marry her, a thief in Shanghai told police he wanted to get arrested and that's why he tried to steal a Bluetooth speaker worth 2,000 yuan ($285).
"I did it because I wanted to have some alone time and stay away from my girlfriend," the man told the police in an interrogation shown in a video posted by Litchi News.
He said his girlfriend has been pushing very hard to get married.
A poster warning of the consequences of theft, gave him the idea that he could spend time in jail where his girlfriend couldn't "annoy" him, he said.
Surveillance video shows the man wandering around the front desk of a dance studio and looking at the speaker before stealing it.
The thief is now being detained for theft at a police station in Changning district, Shanghai.
"It seems he has succeeded in discouraging his girlfriend from marrying him now and for the rest of his life," wrote a netizen.
There are easier ways to break up with a girlfriend......
Most other boyfriends would just not answer her calls.

In Frisco, he wouldn’t have even been arrested.
In Shanghai, he may get 10 years?

There must be 50 ways to Reave your Rover.
Some people just can't let go.
Well, I guess time in jail gives him some down time away from her.
She may even rethink whether she wants to marry him. Win win situation, perhaps, from his point of view?????
Is she that police chick who killed her old boyfriend’s new wife? Stephanie something?
Texas has different laws, I guess.
That song was very misleading. There were only 5 ways, and some of those 5 weren’t even real, and the other were pretty much the same.
He better hope that prison does not allow conjugal visits.
Then, she’ll start planning for a prison wedding.
I think Wardens can marry people.
She may have to deal with some of the bridesmaids being
Trans-Women though.
He said there must be fifty ways, he didn’t promise to list them all :P
Yep
The real punishment would be to put him on house arrest with the girlfriend........
I watch too much Investigation Discovery. :(
Huh? Motivates, maybe?
