Wang Qin, from Lishui, Zhejiang Province in China, got so sick of her son-in-law’s excuses for not paying back a loan she gave him that she used a crane to winch his car onto her roof terrace, the UK Daily Mail reported.

Wang claimed she loaned her son-in-law nearly half-a-million yuan (almost $88,000) to invest in his business.

However, when he began avoiding her and ducking all requests for repayment she decided to take his Audi hostage as collateral.
