“He was one of the biggest hijackers...of booze, cigarettes, razor blades, shrimp and lobsters. Shrimp and lobsters were best. They went fast.” - Goodfellas

Lobster-Claw LOL!

They have trackers available for containers. They may want to invest in some

“A $400,000 shipment of lobsters headed for Costco locations in Illinois and Minnesota was hijacked before arriving at its delivery points.”

Being a fairly unique commodity I hope they have a plan for getting rid of ‘em, because I sure can’t think of one.

[Libloather]

Wasn’t me. Pass the butter...

[dennisw]

Bah humbug on live lobsters. Get me some King crab, the ultimate crustacean in this nation.

As soon as I saw the headline, I wondered why the shipments are for Illinois and Minnesota, but not Wisconsin, especially since they would have to drive right past the Costco locations in Middleton and Eau Claire. So 2 considerations;

1. Where exactly do Wisconsin Lobsters come from?

2. If the grand opening of the Obama Library features a lot of lobster at the buffest, check for receipts.

Given all the puns in the article, I had to go back to make sure it wasn’t The Bee.

Now for my own pun-ny contribution: With the FBI involved, will the punishment include a clawback element? Do they break down the door while shouting “Claws Up!”?

[Sirius Lee]

Claws are too dangerous. They should be banned.

[tired&retired]

Shipments were for Minnesota!

Ask the Somalis

[chajin]

Since it was around Christmas, they must have been Santa claws.

[txeagle]

Will the perpetrators be pinched? The investigation is ongoing....

[Bon of Babble]

Sure, so they can be resold to fancy restaurants or out of the back of a truck.

You can be sure those on EBT cards didn't steal them b/c they don't have to!!

[AndyJackson]

So how do you fence stolen lobster tails?

[Getready]

Hope they refrigerate the stolen lobster correctly. Wouldn’t want to eat one of those if not refrigerated.

[Getready]

They oughta’ boil the writer for his attempt at humor regarding a large loss of money....everyone’s gonna pay...the owners,shippers, insurance companies, investors, shoppers...meanwhile the thieves get away, sell maybe rotting carcasses as food, and the writer is yukking it up.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’d almost bet that the Prixster and his Minniesomalian buddy, Twinkletoes Walz know more about this lobster heist than they are willing to talk about. I’ll bet both those RAT boyz can put away some lobster.

Check the Minnesota welfare roles, you will probably see 400,000 recent enrollees.
