George Wilson, a house painter admitted in Magistrates' Court he could have paid for the items.

The store manager who spotted him kept him under surveillance and once outside the shop asked him what he was doing. The court heard that Wilson put the two cans on top of a trash can and apologised for stealing.

The two cans were worth only $5.30 but Wilson was fined $100.
