VECHTA, GERMANY — A teenager in Germany went to pretty great heights to try and win back his ex-girlfriend. <br /><br />According to DW, the 18-year-old's lady friend was an inmate at a detention center in the northwestern German town of Vechta, who just recently broke up with him over the phone.<br /><br />In a desperate bid to talk to her, lover boy used a lamp post to scale the 13-foot wall of the prison, even going half naked to avoid getting snagged on the razor wire.<br /><br />He then climbed up the inmate housing building to get to the barred window of his ex's cell.<br /><br />Prison staff soon busted him in the act, but he refused to climb down. Firefighters had to be brought in to retrieve the stubborn teen via extendable ladder.<br /><br />The broken-hearted boy suffered a minor injury from his stunt. <br /><br />It's unclear if he was actually successful in winning back his woman's heart, but one thing's certain: he's in heaps of trouble for breaking and entering. <br /><br />We're not sure why he didn't just do the normal route and go during visiting hours? Kids these days.
