Inmate Mails Himself Out of Prison

A convicted drug dealer escaped from a German prison by mailing himself out:

The 42-year-old Turkish citizen -- who was serving a seven-year sentence -- had been making stationery with other prisoners destined for the shops.

At the end of his shift, the inmate climbed into a cardboard box and was taken out of prison by express courier. His whereabouts are still unknown.

The chief warden of the jail told the BBC this was an embarrassing incident.

I thought plans like this only worked on Hogan's Heroes.
