Caught Stealing Grapes

Imagine getting caught stealing grapes...not something you would want to admit to your mate, but how about getting caught stealing five hundred and eighty kilograms of grapes!

Ladislau Darocz and Florin Calin, two greengrocers from the Lasi region found in the east of Romania (second Romanian story on VVIDE in three days) were caught stealing 580 kilograms from a rivals warehouse.

Ladislau Darocz and Florin Calin were caught as there "getaway" plan involved hiring three taxis to take the grapes away. Police in the area thought it odd to see three taxis in convoy so late at night so decided to stop them and have a look, needless to say they were shocked to find a taxi driver surrounded by grapes, in the front of the car, in the back of the car and in the boot of the car.

Both greengrocers complained to the police that they had took the grapes as their rival was putting them out of business with his larger store. Unfortunately for these two greengrocers they may not have a business to run any more as they both face jail time.
