Court: Nobody made you steal it

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.
