What a wonderful story.

http://consumerist.com/2011/07/police-alleged-shoplifter-stuffed-beef-down-his-pants.html

What probably started as a normal day at a South Carolina grocery store ended with action and intrigue after employees noticed a man leaving the store with several packages of tenderloin stuffed down his pants. According to the police report, a manager confronted the man in the parking lot, reaching inside his waistband and pulling out a tenderloin. And then things got interesting.
The following chain of events is from the manager's account as given to police.

• The alleged shoplifter insisted that he only had the one package of meat.
• He then threw several more packages of tenderloins on the ground and attempted to flee in his car.
• His car wouldn't start.
• He tried to put the car in neutral and push it.
• The stalled car almost ran over another grocery store manager. This manager put a hole in one of the tires.
• The alleged shoplifter ran away, with a manager following him in a car.
• He was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting.
• He was taken to the hospital for chest pains while in police custody.

The police report apparently did not mention the ultimate fate of the steaks.

I serve some less than bright carolinians in my day job, but that is just beyond silly. This guy needs to figure out what a food stamp is, or do extreme couponing, if he needs a steak that badly.

Was he trying to bone the beef, I wonder?

Ahhh now America was where this sue everyone for everything mentality originated. I think it all really took off when that woman got all the compo off Mcdonalds because it didn't say her coffee was hot on the cup. As far as this story goes we may see a lawsuit yet once one of the ambulance chasers gets in your man's ear.

He enjoys stealing - it's just as simple as that.

I prefered the showdown between Mr Lee and Bill Foster myself

Mr Lee : "Take the money"

Bill Foster : You think i'm a thief? Oh, you see, i'm not the thief. I'm not the one charging 85 cents for a *stinking soda*. Your the thief. I'm just standing up for my rights as a consumer.
