i once was facing charges for a forged/ and fraudulan mars bar wrapper ( changed to appear as a winning ticket) and sent to claim the prize) detectives flew up from MELBOURNE to charge me . now this si as rediculous as it sounds and it is true .
i was young and a victim of a practical joke played on me by fellow employees. i wont go into the whole story .
but hey when you think about the stupidity of mars bar actually pressing charges over something they new was never going to happen ( ie , i was never going to be paid out prize money with this ticket) the justice system looked after me and squashed it in minutes .
all it took was a phone call from my lawyer. and the matter was instantly squashed . when the lawyer was suggesting charging the 2 detectives involved and MARS.

sounds redicoulous doent it . but i was facing 6 months prison and a very big fine for this .
