A German lawyer is cheesed off after receiving more than 100 unwanted pizzas delivered to his office – and now police are investigating the mystery.<\/p>\n
After all those pizzas in just over a fortnight, Guido Grolle is now receiving unwanted Currywurst and sushi, German media report.<\/p>\n
The lawyer, in the western city of Dortmund, says he has been pestered by multiple calls about pizza orders.<\/p>\n
If stalking were proven, the sentence could be up to three years in jail.<\/p>\n
Ordering goods for someone by misusing their personal data is a form of harassment under German law.<\/p>\n
One theory is that the internet orders come from a disgruntled client. Other lawyers work at the same address as Mr Grolle.<\/p>\n
But fraud or blackmail is considered unlikely, as Mr Grolle is not paying for pizzas that he did not order. The losses are being incurred by several different pizza outlets.<\/p>\n
Mr Grolle said the rate of pizza orders suggested that a computer fault, or some malicious computer code, might be triggering the deliveries.<\/p>\n
One morning there were 15 orders in the space of just 27 minutes, he said. He added that a check of his own computer had not revealed any glitch.<\/p>\n
He said that as he was showering before work the e-mails about lunchtime pizza deliveries already started coming in. “It’s infuriating – you can barely manage to work,”\u00a0Mr Grolle told the news website Ruhr Nachrichten (in German).<\/a><\/p>\n Source: bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
