They took out their own chargers to charge the bicycles. After the night market found out, they sued for theft and filed a civil claim of 60,000 yuan. The judge Based on the calculation of electricity bills, it is believed that the 6 people only used more than 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity, and they were sentenced to pay 2 yuan to the night market.

Abby and others charged it for half an hour to an hour. The night market manager surnamed Xu found out that someone was stealing electricity and called the police to arrest him on the spot. The attitude is acceptable, the stealing time is only about half an hour to an hour, and the value is meager. According to the crime of theft, 6 people were each sentenced to a fine of 3,000 yuan, and they were given easy hard labor, and the charger was confiscated.
