When a 25-year-old from the Opole Lubelskie area learned that his father was reporting him missing to the police station, he decided to act. He got in his car and headed to the police station to explain that he wasn't lost, that he just didn't want to be with his loved ones. His explanation was accepted. But that wasn't the end of it. The officers became interested in the fact that the man had arrived by car despite being... drunk.

During the operation, a dark Volkswagen pulled up to the parking lot in front of the Opole police station , and a man got out and entered the police station building. It turned out to be the "missing" son of the reporting party. He explained that he hadn't disappeared anywhere, he just didn't want to be with his loved ones. And that would have been the end of the matter, if not for a certain detail.
