My thoughts exactly, even though he didn't sell them, the article mentions aggravated theft

@ossipena: whatever the motivations, they need to make sure people are afraid of following this guy's footsteps... 3000 Euro for 98 phones? That makes it just under 30 Euro per phone, let alone the 55 prototypes out of all that.

This is blatant mismanagement...

@legal limitation comments:
Then Nokia should consider limiting the distribution of their sensitive (read: proto) phones to R&D labs within countries with sufficient legal protection to ensure such act will be minimized...

ok ok, i'll get back to topic... let's not go to long rants about legal/patent-system implementations of different countries and how they affect innovations

No it's the finnish justice system and it's very lenient way of punishing for crimes. One of those ClosetCommieTreehuggingPinkoLiberal aspects of nordic society.

Forgot from my OP that the guy just kept the stuff and didn't sell it. He gave all back after he was arrested.

Based on english translation it sounds like all stolen goods were returned to Nokia & punishment was 1/10th of the value of the stolen items. Or something like that. Maybe someone who reads Finnish can give us the details.

Oh, that explains it...

I assume that he proved he didn't misuse the items nor divulge any company secrets to anyone else, and after returning everything back to Nokia it's as if all the damages were sort of nullified.

Still... those prototypes represent Nokia's 'next few steps' in the mobile competition game. They should be guarded like crazy.

The fact that he didn't spill the beans is counter-intuitive to how well-connected everybody is to the Internet is now.

Maybe he's like one of those postal workers that steal mail. Stuff that has no value or purpose to them, and they just stash it.

Good thing he didn't live in California. The cops bust down your door there when you have unauthorized phone prototypes.
