Hasta La Gadget!

Details are still a bit fuzzy on this one, but reports out of Sweden say that a 35-year-old man swiped a batch of prototype phones from Sony Ericsson’s Lund offices on Monday or Tuesday and was then promptly arrested on Wednesday after police discovered the prototypes, along with a hundred other phones, at his home. According to Sony Ericsson, the man was not an employee but had a “working relationship” with the company, and apparently used a pass card to gain entry to the building. Police also found a laptop with some unspecified contents at the man’s home, and say that the total value of the theft was about 750,000 kronor, or roughly $90,000.
