Ten Months In Jail For Stealing A Comic BookToday, Alain Wauters, 56, was sentenced to ten months in a Belgian prison for stealing an original copy of Tintin, Le Crabe Aux Pinces D'Or (The Crab with the Golden Claws), from an auction house.

We reported the crime last year, and it seems the Thompson Twins have finally got their act together. He was also charged with stealing Tintin Au Congo (Tintin In The Congo).

His girlfriend was found not guilty of being an accomplice, despite her presence at both crimes. Wauters must also pay 1000 Euros to the album's owner.

I also wondering just how he'll explain his crime to fellow prisoners…
