The crazy antics of Manchester City star Mario Balotelli know no boundaries. Needing to find a bathroom, the Italian parked his luxury Bentley outside a Manchester high school, walked in unannounced and asked where the bathroom was. After using the men's room at the 1,800-pupil Xaverian College, he went into the staff room, spoke to teachers and then walked around the campus with three friends in tow.

Balotelli and his friends stayed for about 20 minutes and then drove off as stunned students frantically called and texted their friends to tell them who they just saw.

“Balotelli parked his Bentley outside then came in and was asking where the toilets were, then he went to the teacher’s staff room," said student Edward Gasson. "After that he was just walking round campus like he owned the place and everyone was following him around. It was amazing to see him but it was a bit ridiculous for him to come here -- you would never expect it to happen.”

Another student said the latest escapade was evidence that Balotelli, born to Ghanaian immigrants in Italian and adopted by an Italian family, has too much time on his hands.

In October 2010, Balotelli drove his Mercedes -- he likes fancy cars if you didn't notice -- into a women's prison in Italy after deciding he would take a look around. Prison officials questioned him for half an hour before he was allowed to leave.
