Takeaway Travesty

Friday, November 13th, 2009

 

A man was charged with criminal damage to two hamburgers for throwing them in the bin! A mix up in the order saw the two hamburgers arrive hours late and as a result Mr Morgan refused to pay for them.  As Mr Morgan had by then eaten he threw the hamburgers in the bin.  He was then arrested for robbery by a team of policeman.  It later came to light that the hamburgers did in fact belong to Mr Morgan and not the takeaway, as it was their policy not to charge for food if the order is wrong in anyway and as such he was within his rights to throw them away in any event!  An amusing story but a costly one to the public purse.
