    Judge Alan Troy stated the facts were “somewhat bizarre” and asked how Sturgeon managed to enter the correct PIN to the lock box, observing there must have been “sophistication at play”.

    What’s the bet 4 digits had faded paint all around them.

      I imagine any 4 digit pin could be acquired with a digital camera, zoom lens, and a few hours.

    I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from going Blackadder. Maybe saying my name is ‘Baldrick’ and telling them ‘I have a cunning plan’…

    She explained Sturgeon had “somewhat unconventional and unorthodox views”, but had not been diagnosed with or hospitalised for mental health conditions, and no psychological report was presented.

    Yeah, I think the court should have ordered some kind of evaluation…
