A Saudi man seeking government financial help chained himself and his little son inside his car but made the mistake of his life when he kept the lock receipt in his pocket.

Police had found the man, in his 30s, and his child chained in his car in the eastern Ihsa province following a report by passers-by.

The man told the police that he was robbed and beaten by unknown men before they chained him and his son and dumped them in his car.

“We found a receipt showing the man bought a lock and a chain from a shop for SR30 (Dh30). During interrogation, he confessed that he had chained himself and the boy to get financial help,” ‘Sabq’ newspaper said, quoting police spokesman Colonel Ziad Al Rugaiti, who added that the man was arrested.
