Burglar's Escape Goes Wrong: 'Saw a Piece of Finger Sticking Out of the Fence'

After two burglars attempted to flee a carpentry company in Veldhoven, one climber lost part of his ring finger while scaling a two-meter fence. The owner, Peerke, initially chased the intruders away but returned after seeing them sitting on the ground nearby, where police had already arrived. Following a tip from an officer, Peerke searched the premises and the next morning found the severed finger part lodged in the fence mesh. He photographed the discovery and sent it to the police, who collected the tissue for potential forensic analysis despite concerns about its condition.
