BERLIN - A Gambian man unused to Germany's winter weather woke up to find his car had gone completely white overnight and called police to complain vandals had painted it.
Police in the central German town of Hildesheim who answered his call discovered the man had mistaken snow on his car for paint when he looked down from his apartment window.
``To him it looked like paint when he was looking down on the car from the fifth floor. He was really worried and it wasn't a hoax, otherwise he would have been fined for it,'' police spokesman Walter Wallott said.
