A prisoner wrapped himself in a large parcel and posted himself to freedom from a jail in Austria.
Bosnian Muradif Hasanbegovic, 36, was serving a seven-year sentence for robbery in the Karlau prison, near Graz.
He escaped from the workshop where he helped package and post parts for lampposts.
The man packed himself up in a parcel, and other convicts loaded him onto a lorry. Once clear of the prison he broke out of the parcel, jumped off the back of the lorry and fled.
The lorry driver told police: "I noticed the tarpaulin had a hole in it just as the prison called me and asked 'Have you noticed anything funny? We are kind of missing a prisoner'."
Prison warden Franz Hochstrasser said: "This sort of thing was not supposed to happen. Guards need to count prisoners at the end of working hours. We are investigating the case."
Hasanbegovic is still on the run.

Especially since if you saw what happened in the package dept of most post offices, he was endangering his life by posting himself! They say if you mark fragile on it, it's worse!

There's a reason they say, 'going postal'. My best friend needed some holiday money and signed on in the backroom and said, 'don't bother marking it fragile...they throw those things around like it was a ball at the beach.'
