Yahoo! News - Court Rules Thief Must Dig Victim a New Pool Thu Mar 13, 9:48 AM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - A thief who stole a businessman's laptop is to dig him a new swimming pool, a court in Hanover western Germany has ruled.
The 19 year-old thief escaped the standard minimum six-month suspended jail sentence for the theft of the computer worth 2,500 euros ($2,729) in October 2000, after his victim, a 41-year-old insurance agent, suggested the unusual punishment in court.
Stefan Joseph, a spokesman for the Hanover court, confirmed the ruling made on Monday.
"The work should be completed within three months," he said.
