Recycling: Not always a good thing.

From our "Ick" Department: Man investigated for stealing used tampons.

I don't know that "stealing" is exactly the right word for this.

More like "liberating."

Or "recycling."

But at least he is polite and sends the tampons' previous owners a nice letter detailing his actions.

But here's what I don't get:

A Dutch man is being investigated by police after complaints were received in reference to a bizarre and seemingly sick fetish.

Police can't legally stop the man, as digging through public trash cans is not a crime.

If it's not a crime and they can't arrest him, why are the police investigating him? What's there to investigate?
