When in doubt, go with the 'I'm new to this culture, I thought they were free' defense. Sounds like he had a glazed look in the security room.
When in a "sticky" situation, try to talk your way out with "sweet" talk but make sure there are no "holes" in your argument.
Super-rich Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea was given a yellow card by Tesco — for pinching a £1.19 DOUGHNUT.
The Spaniard, 20, was quizzed by security staff after he scoffed an Original Glazed ring treat from a Krispy Kreme cabinet at a store in Altrincham, Greater Manchester.
De Gea was hauled up after being captured on CCTV helping himself to the treat — but escaped a penalty.
The sticky-fingered stopper — thought to be on £70,000 a week — wolfed down the doughnut in the magazine aisle.
But as he headed for the exit without paying, he was tackled by security staff — one of whom spoke fluent Spanish.
They took the keeper, signed from Atletico Madrid in the summer in an £18.3million deal, to the store's "stop and search" room.
And they made it clear he had made a right howler by giving him a hairdryer treatment that would have made Man U boss Sir Alex Ferguson proud.
De Gea strode into the Tesco Extra with two Spanish pals.
A source said: "They weren't very subtle. They swaggered in chatting loudly in Spanish.
"The security guards who monitor the CCTV watched two of them take a doughnut each out of the Krispy Kreme cabinet.
"Incredibly, they then appeared to try to leave without paying — or buying anything else for that matter."
Why was he let off?
If that was the man on the Clapham Omnibus I am sure they would have had the book thrown at them.
Bad taste and poor judgment anyway - the lemon meringue or banana custard Krispy Kremes are much better.
