Ignoring the silly home ruling, does that mean a German employer is responsible for the safety of employees on their commute to work.
That seems a very onerous responsibility.

Man forgot he was wearing jacket

Screenshot from The Dundalk Leader

In a truly shocking turn of events, a daredevil left a shop wearing a jacket that he had tried on, having forgotten to take off. He inspired this headline in The Dundalk Leader.

Sean Smith of Dundalk ended up purchasing the item after pleading guilty to theft charges, but not before receiving a 150 euro fine. Smith had 40 previous charges related to “accidental” theft.

I wonder if that is connected to "I was stripping for the shower when I looked out and saw some riff raff parking on the footway" thread in the motoring section?
