Is that a Lobster in Your Pants?...

Grub Street's crime beat has a strange-but-true report of Raymundo Flores, a line cook at Brooklyn's Junior's restaurant who was arrested over the weekend for attempting to steal 15 frozen lobster tails--by stuffing them in his pants. One frozen lobster tail tucked in your pants, sure, but fifteen--who wasn't going to notice that? Flores lost his job and will now forever be remembered as the guy who tried to smuggle 15 lobsters in his pants. All I can say is the NY Post would've had a headline field day if he had tried to make off with crabs.
