Fugitive goes on date with policeman - Yahoo! News:

BUDAPEST (AFP) - A fugitive who escaped from prison in Hungary was caught when he unwittingly went out on a date with a policeman, the national police said in a statement.

The unidentified man, sentenced for robbery and fraud, had posted an ad with his own photo in an online dating website.

He set up a date for Thursday at a pastry shop with someone who he thought was a woman.

"At the place of the rendez-vous the surprised man was caught and that is when he realized that the woman with whom he had exchanged emails and for whom he brought a ring was actually a man and on top of it a detective," the police said.
