AMSTERDAM, Netherlands Lawyers for the convicted thief -- a repeat offender who was
sentenced to 22 days in jail -- had argued that leaving the bike
unlocked amounted to entrapment. But the five-judge court has
rejected that, saying the man wasn't personally targeted.
His name has not been released.
Police arrested him in Deventer in March 2006 after he took a
bike they left near a train station that was being plagued by
thefts.
Tuesday's court ruling said placing an unlocked decoy bike
didn't make the suspect do anything he had not intended doing
beforehand.
