The New Zealander got drunk before selling the car, and the next morning he decided that it had been stolen and forced the police to look for it.

A New Zealand resident had too much alcohol last weekend and sold his car for 800 New Zealand dollars (about 33 thousand rubles) to get money to continue drinking.

However, when he woke up the next morning, he did not remember what had happened, and discovered that his car was no longer parked at the house. Believing that she had been stolen, he went to the Rotorua police station, reports NZ Herald .

The police began to investigate the incident in good faith. But it all ended quite quickly: a man who bought a car for pennies at night, the next day decided to check in the transport database whether it was a stolen car. When he went to the site, he found a warning that the car was indeed stolen.

After that, he decided to turn to the police for help, telling how the matter happened. The police called the unlucky seller and suggested that the participants in the transaction resolve the unusual situation on their own. It is not specified who ended up with the car.

As summarized by the Rotorua police, the moral of this story is that you should not get drunk, not only before you need to get behind the wheel, but in general if you have a car.
