JEDDAH, 2 December 2005 — A cell phone thief was responsible for the admission of a newly married woman to King Fahd hospital in Jeddah recently, according to Al-Watan. The new bride called her husband who was waiting for a water tank truck. A strange voice answered the phone and told her that he was her husband’s son from his first wife, and that he was at the hospital with him. The “son” said that her husband had suffered an accident and just died. She collapsed and was taken to hospital. Her husband later reappeared and rushed to the hospital to see his wife after he heard what had happened to her. He told her that his mobile phone had been stolen and that the thief had played a sick joke on her.
