Well, it my case, it must be genetics. Every week there are at least three or four stories in the press that are this... weird. The characters and subjects are completely different, but they all carry the same amount of... "Oh my God. I can't raise my children in Bosnia. I want them to be normal."

Bosnian man angry with "funeral" no-show
A Bosnian Muslim man has written angry letters to all his friends to complain after only his elderly mother turned up for his funeral.
Amir Vehabovic, 45, faked his own death just to see how many people would attend. He then watched from the bushes as only his elderly mother turned up for the burial in the north Bosnian town of Gradiska.
In the letter, which he sent to more than 45 people, he said: "I paid a lot of money to get a fake death certificate and bribe undertakers to deliver an empty coffin. I really thought a lot more of you, my so-called friends, would turn up to pay their last respects. It just goes to show who you can really count on."
The fake funeral bears similarities to another incident in Bosnia last year. In July of 2006, Bosnian Muslim woman Harisa Efendic, 27, faked her own death to fast-track the process of getting her elderly father accepted into a nursing home. The plot was revealed when she stormed her own funeral to complain the wine being served was too cheap.
Bosnian man robs himself, baffles police for weeks
A Bosnian man robbed his own betting shop of 225,000 euros (300,000 dollars) in a calculated gamble that left police baffled for weeks, officials said Tuesday.
Police said they were left perplexed by the case in which Jakov Pinjuh, the owner of the "Williams" betting shop in the southern town of Siroki Brijeg, reported the theft of the money from a cashier.
They launched an intense enquiry, only to get an admission two weeks later from Pinjuh that he had staged the crime in a bid to test his "negligent" employees.
"We worked around the clock because it was the biggest 'robbery' we ever had," police spokesman Damir Cutura told AFP.
The workers were the prime suspects in the investigation, but Pinjuh later confessed that he himself had "hidden the money to see if his employees would even notice," said Cutura.
Police were to report the case to public prosecutors, who would decide whether to press charges against the betting shop owner.
