A French woman bought a camper from a private seller for €26,000 to fulfil her dying husband's wish and travel with him to Corsica. It later emerged that the vehicle had been stolen. The Chartres court found the buyer not guilty of handling stolen goods, but the camper was seized by the insurance company. The man died, and the trip did not take place.
A second buyer who paid €18,000 was also acquitted. The man accused of a series of camper thefts in Eure-et-Loir in July 2015 was sentenced to 1.5 years in prison, of which 1 year suspended, with a 2-year probation period and an obligation to pay victims €3,700.
