Sand can be expensive

That is if it's taken from a beach in Italy. The latest sand theft was committed by two French citizens. They wanted a memory of the good time they had on a beach in Sardinia so they poured white sand into 14 plastic bottles and put them in the trunk of their SUV. They were caught on a ferry en route to France. They were charged with theft under aggravated circumstance for having stolen from a public beach. They face between one and six years of jail time plus a fine of up to $3,300.
