Lobster theft lands man in hot water
At Bally’s Casino in Atlantic City last Thursday, a man wearing a backpack was caught trying to steal lobsters out of the kitchen. How many lobsters? Try 91. That’s right, he had hidden 91 lobsters in the backpack, in his jacket, and yes, even in his pants. Before you start thinking about the hazards of putting live lobsters down your pants, it should be noted that the lobsters were frozen. Still, frozen lobsters in your pants can’t be too pleasant, either.
So he swiped the 91 lobsters and started walking out of the kitchen. But he was easy to catch for a number of reasons, including the fact that he was wearing verrry bulky clothing, and that he was walking verrry slowly. In fact, that would be great if we could get the surveillance tape to see exactly how he looked walking with these lobsters. I am glad that the thief was apprehended and the lobsters, worth $1200, were returned safely. But knowing where they’ve been, I just hope that none of them end up on my plate anytime soon.
That is funny! It’s amazing what people think they can get away with.
91 lobsters? lol He probably would have gotten away with it if he’d toned it down a little and stolen maybe like….two?
Maxiegirl: I agree, especially at a casino, there is not much you can get away with.
Dianae: Yes, 91 is a bit ambitious. Maybe he should have worked his way up to that.
Angi: I am not sure a psychiatrist can help this guy
