"I steal to eat." This is what a 45-year-old Sardinian told the policemen who arrested him in Modena, caught in the act while carrying out yet another theft aboard parked cars. The investigators attribute to him dozens of episodes that took place in the city, staged with the same script: shattered glass and raids on the passenger compartments.
At the express trial he repeated in the courtroom that his actions are dictated only by the need to scrape together some pennies to buy food and to be in a situation of psychological discomfort following the death of his father, from which he never recovered. Faced with charges, he took responsibility for only a few cases. A few days ago he had been surprised in a cottage with various objects: all theft proceeds.
The man has been ordered to stay and present himself to the judicial police.
