Thankyou BBC for cheering up our day with this story about a German lawyer who doesn’t have the dough to pay for the receipt of more than 100 unwanted pizzas delivered to his office. Police are investigating the mystery. Not sure how currywurst & sushi go together!
The BBC report
After all those pizzas in just over a fortnight, Guido Grolle is now receiving unwanted Currywurst and sushi, German media report.
The lawyer, in the western city of Dortmund, says he has been pestered by multiple calls about pizza orders.
If stalking were proven, the sentence could be up to three years in jail.
Ordering goods for someone by misusing their personal data is a form of harassment under German law.
One theory is that the internet orders come from a disgruntled client. Other lawyers work at the same address as Mr Grolle.
But fraud or blackmail is considered unlikely, as Mr Grolle is not paying for pizzas that he did not order. The losses are being incurred by several different pizza outlets.
