British people living the high life

And I bet the court case cost more than the ham she recieved.

From the Dim Prawny one yesterday:

The trial of a woman accused of stealing a £6.99 packet of prawns from a supermarket cost the Department of Justice more than £17,000.

BBC News - Sainsbury's king prawn theft case cost over £17k

But if the court case deters more than 2429 (~ 17000 / 7) people from shoplifting prawn packets, surely it'll have been worthwhile.
