Using a false name, the 46-year-old from the western city of Dortmund ordered the 3,700-euro ($4,890) feast to be sent to the club house of a garden allotment colony. Shortly after the caterers delivered the food, he called the company to say they had made a mistake and he would return the order. As puzzled club house guests looked on, he loaded the buffet into his car and sped off. The food was never seen again -- but the man was recognized one day by one of the club house guests, who told the police, the presiding judge at the court in Dortmund said. "The man said he wanted to treat his friends to something special," said Judge Gerhard Breuer. "I told him his story would make a good movie." As well as receiving a suspended jail term, the man must repay his debt to the caterer, the court ruled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastrfreak2000 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 The food was never seen again If somebody steals food, of course it's never going to be seen again! Obviously the person is going to eat it! And even if he didn't eat it, why the hell would he return it, or why would the victims of the theft even want it back?

BarryH Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 ^The only compensation for stolen food would probably be money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masked_Maverick Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm still waiting to see if anyone knows if gravy was involved because if there was gravy then it was probably an ACEr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
