Man Used Snake As Car 'Security System'

A Serbian man who routinely left a two-metre snake inside his car because he couldn't afford an alarm has been arrested after it escaped.

Radovan Darkic, a pet shop owner from Belgrade, left the snake in his E-Class Mercedes every evening to make sure no one would steal it.

But he was forced to call the police when to his shock he found it had slithered its way out through an open window and into the engine compartment.

"I only wanted to make sure that even if I couldn't take revenge on anyone who dared to rob my car then at least the snake could do it for me", he said.

The snake was found but the man has been arrested by officers for endangering public safety.
