A fourteen year old girl from Mijas, Málaga, has been charged with misappropriation for eating a gift of chocolates which was delivered to her house in error.

The teenager was unable to resist the temptation when she opened up the package after it was delivered to her house by courier and found pieces of chocolate laid out inside the box to form the words, ‘Feliz cumpleaños’ – ‘Happy birthday’.

The error in the delivery was discovered when the true recipient contacted the courier service enquiring about a package his wife had sent to his office in Fuengirola. The courier went back to the Mijas address and, despite finding on arrival that half the chocolates had been eaten, took away what remained and they were sent on to their destination.

ABC newspaper reports that the recipient placed a formal complaint with the police after he opened up his birthday gift and found that some of it was missing.

It’s understood that the teenage girl told officers that she had opened up the package thinking it was a gift for her mother, whose birthday was coming up in the next few days. She was then charged with misappropriation

OMG! I'd do the same!
