#2 I guess the only reason he didn't get tossed in the pokey is because he bought German. 200 large must buy some hunk of Barvarian metal thats for sure.
I'd would have went Italian myself.

#3 "..two-year suspended jail sentence." Is it just me, or do a lot of stories about crime and punishment in Europe show a pattern of rather light sentencing?

#5 I read the title and thought, "my, he must have shook down quite a few homeless folks every month to make those kind of payments."

#6 Patrick, "......crime and punishment in Europe show a pattern of rather light sentencing?"
Yes, but that's for big crime, or they resign after they make an immunity law for themselves. The little ones, like the grannies who won't/can't pay Council Tax increases of 21%+ on a 3.4% increase in pension, get slammed in the jug for a few months,(UK-time). What I would like is a Retro Immunity law.
(BTW, I am OK, 'cos Amnesty Int forgave everyone involved in whatever it was).

#8 No CrazyFool, I think the guy who sold him a BMW for 200 grand should get that job!
Hell, a top model BMW costs around 40000 Euro in Germany.
