- Prolonged bathroom usage: host locks guest inside

A property owner neglected to recognize that a visitor was yet in the restroom of his inn situated in Mannheim and secured it upon closing. The individual, having been in the restroom for over fifteen minutes, subsequently ended up being detained for over an hour as he contemplated his "getaway strategies" before ultimately dialing 112.

Authorities saved the 47-year-old gentleman through a window. The innkeeper promised the authorities he would inspect the restrooms prior to securing the premises in the future.

The police hypothesis: "Even if the trapped person had remained longer, he wouldn't have had to endure starvation and dehydration."

The visitor, finding himself trapped, showed a curious interest in devising various escape plans. Despite his curiosity, he eventually decided to call for help.
