It only seems fair.

Burglar offered his finger back in return for stolen goods

Police in West Sussex are offering a burglar his finger in return for items he stole from a clock shop.

Officers found it when they were sweeping up broken glass at the shop in Arundel.

The finger is being kept in ice as evidence, but police say they'll give it back if the thief returns two £150 bronze hen clocks.

Police say the burglar will be scarred for life as a result of his injury.

The Daily Express says he's described as blond, in his 20s and was wearing a black T-shirt.

It's the second time in recent months Sussex police have found a severed finger. The first was next to a broken window after a house raid in Lewes in July.

A police spokesman said: "Thieves traditionally win themselves the nickname of Fingers. In these cases Finger-less seems more appropriate."

This sounds fair to me. There is no mention of jail time in the article, just a trade.Serves him right for stealing in the first place.

If he was living in a muslim country, would it be considered a reduced sentence now if his hands were cut off...

LOL We'll i'd certainly buy my finger back for 300. . . Darn American PC keyboards! *copies and pastes currency symbol* £300 ! There... -_-

well, I doubt the exchange is fair at all: some time has passed since the finding of the finger and the offer and all of that, and I doubt they can "paste" the finger back to where it belongs after so much time.

So I'd stick for the loot, since the finger is already gone...

Perhaps this sounds like a stupid question but...what kind of imbecile looses his finger while robbing a store? You have to be a class act moron to do something that idiotic. Here's an idea pinhead, wear gloves! This has to the dumbest theft I ever heard of...I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have a getaway car and had to run to his hideout. Heh.
