1. This is an appeal against sentences totalling 7 months. Six months was imposed for theft, 1 month consecutively for breach of condition of stay. The theft involved the appellant taking five pairs of sunglasses from a shop in Tsim Sha Tsui and putting them inside his handbag. The sunglasses were valued at HK$10,965. The handbag had been lined with aluminium foil which could shield anti-theft tags from the radar of the anti-theft system installed in such a shop.
