Small leak at Nokia research center. Guy steals 55 prototypes.
 

Funny story in finnish newspaper about a man who was employee at one of Nokia's subcontractors. Between March 2009 - February 2010 he stole:
-98 mobilephones of which 55 were prototypes.
-28 laptops
-232 mobilephone batteries
-one projector.


He got caught. Court gave him 7 month suspended sentence and he had to pay about 3000 euros to Nokia in damages.

unlikely nokia would be in the position to decide this. if it happened in the civilized part of the world, they have laws and independent courts.

I don't think Nokia have any say in the situation. Theft is usually a criminal offence, so it's up to the judge to impose the sentence. Potentially Nokia could sue him for breach of contract or something, but I doubt it's worth the legal costs.
