Couple steals live lobster from Red Lobster- $8.99

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

MARCH 19--Meet Jonathon Granger and Hillary Boyd. The married duo got popped Monday by Florida cops after allegedly swiping a live lobster, valued at $8.99, from a Red Lobster in Naples. According to this Collier County Sheriff's report (a handwritten read, but worth the time), Granger, 32, grabbed the lobster, hid it under his shirt, and made a run for it. Boyd, 36, was waiting in a nearby getaway truck. But the crustacean caper derailed when witnesses copied down the Chevy Blazer's tag number, which cops used to track down the pair. Though Red Lobster agreed to drop the charges in exchange for payment, Boyd wasn't interested in that generous offer: "This is a fucking joke. We're in trouble for a fucking $8.99 lobster," she reportedly yelled at a cop. Granger and Boyd are both facing theft and resisting arrest charges

Ok, who wouldn't love to see this on one of those world's stupidest criminals shows. They steal a live lobster by putting it under their shirt. A- that lobster won't live long out of water and B - I hope it had its claws rubberbanded..Anyway, its a $9 lobster, and instead of paying the $9 and not getting in any trouble, they have to argue about it and not pay and now they are going to get in trouble over a "fucking $8.99 lobster"..thats the real joke..

The most shocking parts of this for me is that Red Lobster has live lobster and that it cost only $9...

Jesus Christ, I hope that the claws WEREN'T rubberbanded.

That might be what it cost Red Lobster, to get it cooked and brought to your table more like $18.99.

One word: Pathetic

[Guest Miss Indy Queen]

This has to be one of the funniest things I have ever read in a while. Instead of just paying the amount, they would rather face charges. Incredible!

[Guest razazteca]

What are tree hugging PETA Hippies doing at Red Lobster?

[Guest CED Ordonez]

Although equally stupid, I'd like to drill them both in the face, and get hauled away screaming, "This is a fucking joke! I'm getting in trouble for hitting someone that deserved it!"

[Guest El Satanico]

I'd like to know where Red Lobster buys their Lobsters

 

I don't personally like lobster, but for $8.99 a piece i could make a good profit on reselling them.
