Is the president of the Czech Republic a thief?

Václav Klaus, more commonly known as “the president of the Czech Republic” (because nobody knows his name or, for that matter, cares), was caught pocketing a pen, on live television, while visiting Chile.

Put on your Inspector Clouseau hat and watch all the exhilarating action:

Smooth.

However, the president of the Czech Republic has been let off the hook, it seems.

Klaus spokesman Radim Ochvat said Tuesday that it was “a common pen with a logo of the state or office, which presidents and members of their delegation receive during state visits.”

Actually, the pens are encrusted with semi-precious Chilean lápiz lazuili stones, but Piñera spokeswoman Constanza Cea said the president’s guests are free to take them. [FOX]

How disappointing.
