A German nursing home has created a pretend bus stop in a bid to stop Alzheimer’s patients from walking off. The stop - which is outside Dusseldorf’s Benrath Centre - looks exactly the same as the others in the city, except no buses stop there.
The home came up with the idea after many patients escaped and boarded buses in the hope of going home, but got lost and had to be returned by police.
The centre teamed up with local care association, the Old Lions, and went to the Rheinbahn transport network which was happy to provide the bus stop to nowhere.
Old Lions Chairman Franz-Josef Goebel said: ‘It sounds funny, but it helps.’

Romanian police are hunting for a woman who pole dances on the city’s underground railway to earn money.
The dancer is described as a "well-dressed, attractive, student-like young woman" and performs her routines only when the train is travelling between further apart subway stations in Bucharest.
Her routine starts while she plays Tom Jones’ ‘You Can Leave Your Hat On’ on a portable CD player while taking off her clothes and dancing around a pole.
She then puts her clothes back on and passes around a container for passengers to show their appreciation for her efforts.
A police spokesman said the woman faced charges and a fine for indecent exposure and public begging if she is caught in the act.

A crocodile has appeared in a German river.
Two municipal employees in Hildesheim say they saw the reptile and city officials have since called in experts to try to find the animal – which is not native to Germany.
The employees got a five-minute look at the crocodile on a backwater of the Innerste river, before the two-and-a-half foot animal disappeared into the brush.
Hildesheim city spokesman Horst Richter says the employees’ story is being taken seriously as one of them is an avid reptile fan, although it is unclear whether the animal is a crocodile, an alligator or a caiman.

The man inherited the house when his mother died, but not visited it and had no idea his grandmother had died there.
Drazic said: “I have been out of the country for a while and bought the property via an agency. I was looking forward to seeing the house for the first time but instead I got the shock of my life.”

Two US men tried to break a world record by shaking hands for nine-and-a-half hours.
Kevin Whittaker, 31, and Cory Jens, 30, were hoping to beat the previous record of nine hours – held by two Germans - in San Francisco.
Although officials from The Guinness Book of World Records must still confirm the feat, Whittaker and Jens are confident they now hold the record.
Whittaker said: "I looked up what some of the weakest records were. I’m not going to break the 100-meter dash record, but I thought I could break this record. [But] it’s not that fun, believe me. My shoulder is tired, in fact, it’s extremely painful."
