Stop thief, why are you wearing that hanger?
BERLIN |
BERLIN (Reuters) - An elderly German who hid a stolen suit under his clothes was caught because he forgot to take it off the hanger, police said Wednesday.
A sales assistant at a men's outfitter in the western city of Aachen noticed the hanger bulging out when the man told her he had decided against buying anything.
"Only a sign saying 'stop me, I'm a thief!' would have made the thief look more unprofessional," police said in a statement.
