BERLIN (Reuters Life!) - A 43-year-old German decided
to settle his imminent divorce by chainsawing a family
home in two and making off with his half in a forklift
truck.

Police in the eastern town of Sonneberg said on Friday
the trained mason measured the single-storey summer
house -- which was some 8 meters (26 feet) long and 6
meters wide -- before chainsawing through the wooden
roof and walls.

"The man said he was just taking his due," said a
police spokesman. "But I don't think his wife was too
pleased."

After finishing the job, the man picked up his half
with the forklift truck and drove to his brother's
house where he has since been staying.
