That's incredible. I have one of my very very distant relative who nearly caused a diplomatic incident in Ecquador, because he was on some organised trip to Colombia and someone told him that just over the border there are some great waterfalls that are worth seeing, so he got to the border, and from my understanding bribed the guard to let him through since he didn't have a visa or anything, came back two hours later only to find that the guards have changed and the new one wasn't interested in a bribe but was very interested in getting him arrested for not having the proper visa or documentation. This was long before cellphones were a thing, so basically he had to convince the commander of the jail where he was held to contact someone higher up so they could contact his country's embassy and for whatever reason they ended up sending a military helicopter to pick him up and bring him back to Colombia.
