Quirky China: Porsche owners trash farm, quarantine in a phone booth for weeks and Shanghai couple have a huge online wedding
- A nomadic woman in Shanghai lived in a phone booth for most of April after the city went into lockdown
- Another consequence of the lockdown was a couple who invited 3,000 guests to their online wedding
Police arrested four women in eastern China for driving a Porsche through a farmer’s field, trashing his crops and stealing his vegetables.
The Zhejiang province farmer surnamed Deng caught one of the women red-handed at around midnight after hearing loud noises from his field next to his home.
After the farmer caught her, the woman tried to offer financial compensation for her crime, but the man refused and called the police instead. After she was detained, the woman identified her accomplices, who were later apprehended.
The man grew vegetables like spinach, cabbage and bok choy for a living, many of which were either destroyed or ruined by the women.
The public was outraged after one of the women told the court: “We did it for fun. If we could not finish eating all of the vegetables, we would have just thrown them away.”
One person commented: “Driving a Porsche and stealing vegetables? It’s like the well-fed don’t know how the starving suffer. Next time it would be better if they drove directly to the police office.”
