Tinashe Moyo, a 22-year-old from the town of Plumtree, Zimbabwe is regretting his recent decision to steal some beer and snacks from the local supermarket.
According to court documents, Tinashe was caught red-handed by security drinking one can of beer in the store without paying. When asked to pay, he claimed he had no money on him.
The remaining three months were suspended on condition that Moyo completes 105 hours of community service at Plumtree Magistrates’ Courts.
In total, Tinashe attempted to steal around US$21 worth of items but was only found with $13.25 on him. One wonders if the momentary satisfaction of snatched refreshments and snacks was worth the potential year-long punishment. This case serves as an example of how even small acts of theft can land one in big trouble with the law.
