Have you ever heard someone say that they would “kill for” a particular object? I would kill for that pair of heels or I would kill for a vacation to the Maldives? The phrase just expresses the speaker’s desire for the given object and how far they would go to get it. Now, let’s say that the thing was a fancy car. How far would you go to get your hands on it?
According to NDTV, a 20-year-old German woman printed 15,000 euros (Rs. 11.5 lacs) worth of fake currency to buy an Audi A3.
The woman used the inkjet printer at her house to print the fake notes of €50 (Rs.3800) and €100 (Rs.7700). Since they were printed on plain white paper, the employees at the Kaiserslautern car dealership weren’t fooled for a second. News18 quoted one of them saying,
“We have experienced plenty of scam attempts before, but so far no one has been this brash. I just asked her incredulously if she wanted to play Monopoly.”
The woman has now been arrested for counterfeiting. Cops searched her home in Pirmasens to find 13,000 euros (Rs. 10 lacs) worth of fake bills and the printer used in the process.

What do you think made her do such a thing? Over-confidence? A joke? Or something else entirely? Tell us.
