Is it normal to steal the blanket at night?
Not guilty
The short answer
It is normal, and since it happens in your sleep the court does not hold it against you. You still owe a solution.
The ruling

Small claims division
Case no.PC-2026-00455
The wife v. The husband
Filed 10/07/2026
- Plaintiff
- The wife
- Defendant
- The husband
Statement of claim
Every night I wake up cold because he has rolled the whole blanket around himself like a burrito. He says he does not do it.
Charge
Nightly acquisition of the shared blanket, while asleep
Judgment
Not guilty
Husband found not guilty of stealing the blanket, because he was asleep
Sentence
No sentence. The defendant will buy a second blanket within a week, which the court notes is a remedy and not a punishment.
How the court usually rules on this
The court does not convict people for what they do asleep. It does, however, expect the sleeper to accept a remedy once told, such as a second blanket or a larger one. Refusing a remedy can turn a not guilty verdict into a guilty one on appeal.
