Biting The Hand That Could Free You

A 61-year-old German on trial for theft got himself into more trouble when he stole from the judge during his court hearing, police said Thursday.

Reuters reports that police in the German town of Coburg said that while facing the judge at the bench, the man pocketed a bunch of keys from the judge, who did not notice her keys were missing until he had left the courtroom.

When confronted by court officials in the toilet, the man told them he had been shocked to discover the keys in his pocket.
