Laptop Thief is a "Menace to Society"

I was reading the local paper over the weekend to stumble across an article about our friend, the laptop thief! Looks like he finally got his day in court and was sentenced to 20 months in prison and a 100 euro fine. It seems that he is a 28 year old local guy with a serious drinking and drug problem. The real shocker is that he had over 40 previous convictions!!! The judge was quoted as saying, "he is a menace to this whole society." Looks like he was due for a nice stay in a government sponsored facility. We also feel very lucky because we got our laptop back. Some of the other victims were not so lucky and a group of students were reported to have lost all of their thesis work....so sad.
