I was scanning CANUCK'S other website recently. I found an excellent story that supposedly is true.
The story was posted on November 11, 2004. It relates the story of a teenaged boy from an affluent family
who actually experiences a "designer kidnapping" engineered by his older brother and mother.
Basically the kid is kidnapped from the driveway of his home and held for a $100,000 ransom.
It's a good story.
