Klaus, criminal, thief, or misunderstood?

Well, I don't rightly know what to say. It appears Klaus might not be an illusionist after all. It has been unearthed that he's been stealing stuff at meetings before.
Here's the sordid story:
There ain't no quote feature, so the text I'm quoting will be in eyetalics. I don't want to be called a klaustomaniac!

According to Marquand, an Irish correspondent said that she had previously attended a dinner with Klaus and put her dinner gloves on the table. She saw Klaus reaching his hand out, and then noticed the gloves were gone. “Why Mr. Klaus, you have taken my gloves!” she said, according to Marquand. The gloves were returned after some explanation that apparently involved Klaus’ wife and her fashion taste. While it is not clear exactly when the glove incident took place, Klaus was finance minister of Czechoslovakia from December 1989 to July 1992 — and “young” is a bit misleading, as he was born in 1941.

While taking clothing items from neighbors at ceremonial and diplomatic events seems a bit questionable, Klaus maintains it is normal to take items like pens — and says he does it all the time.
