Car swallowed by hedge
Police in Germany had to help a driver find his car after it was swallowed by a hedge.
The man, who is 55, told police he had left his Mercedes parked near a filling station in Essen and had gone to buy cigarettes.
When he returned, the £35,000 automatic car was gone.
He suspected it had been stolen, but police decided it was worth searching the area.
They eventually found the car a short distance away, in a thick hedge.
It's believed the car rolled down a stretch of road through a hedge, smashed down a fence and was only stopped by a tree behind it.
The hedge was so thick that the car was swallowed completely and could not be seen from the street.
