[iceland] thou shalt not steal thy neighbour’s hotpot

The District Court of North Iceland last Thursday sentenced a man in his twenties to two months prison for stealing a hot pot from a patio but he might escape imprisonment if he manages to stay on the right side of the law for three years, as reported on mbl.is. The hot pot was stolen from the patio of a summer house in February 2006. As it had yet to be glued to the patio, the thief could remove it with a crowbar. The thief was tracked down after an observant citizen contacted the police in Akureyri. Yet to be glued? Crowbar?
