A lower court's ruling found him guilty, making the claim that he should have known it was stolen because the price was so low.  He was fined 1200 euros ($1700).

What sort of crazy fucking logic is that?

You never know what some idiot judge is going to do.  I would imagine intention to steal has to enter the picture, and you can't infer that.  You have to prove it.  The higher court did the right thing.
