A missing man in Turkey accidentally joined his own search party for hours before realizing he was the person they were looking for, local media reports.
Beyhan Mutlu had been drinking with friends on Tuesday when he wandered into a forest in Bursa province.
When he failed to return, his wife and friends alerted local authorities and a search party was sent out.
Mr Mutlu, 50, then stumbled across the search party and decided to join them, NTV reported.
But when members of the search party began calling out his name, he replied: “I am here.” He was taken aside by one of the rescuer workers to give a statement. “Don’t punish me too harshly, officer. My father will kill me,” he reportedly told them. Police then drove Mr Mutlu home. It is not clear if he was given a fine.

Lesson learned. If you join a search party, the first question to ask is who we are searching for…

That quote was so appropriate! The quote together with the story really made it.
I saw this headline, but had assumed it was someone with malicious intentions joining a manhunt for themselves 😆. The truth was so much better and more interesting.

“I am here.” Hahaha! This will be the funniest thing I’ll read all day.
I wish I were there to witness this moment of brilliance. I keep imagining all the scenarios.
“Can you give me a description of the missing person?”
“Yes, he stands about 6 feet, weighs in the neighborhood of 180 pounds, has brown hair, and likes to drink—kind of like you.”🤣🤣🤣
