You just have to figure out a way to keep those whacky Californians from moving to Maine.
Hasn't this guy ever heard of Dine and Dash? Why go to all that trouble?
Lot of those Mainers look a lot like people from Kalifornia.

Feeeeeeliiiiiinnnnngs..........the liberals greatest need.......more important than honest labor and honest dealings...
So, even if I don't have wealth but I feel I should, I can rip off a fur from Neiman-Marcus? Great, I'm about 5 minutes from one.
It would have been easier to slip a dead cockroach from an envelope on to his plate with about 3 bites of food left, and then scream for the waiter and demand the plate be taken to the restaurant manager for him to see the unwelcome side dish.
I guarantee, most restaurant managers would make that meal on the house, and probably buy him a drink or two to wash down the bad memory.
There was another enterprising scammer back in the 80's, I heard about it from an Arby's roast beef restaurant manager, about a guy who used to come in not long after opening time, politely ask for the manager, tell a story about coming in with his family and friends the night before, everyone getting sick, and his wife being an attorney with the U.S. Justice Department madder than a wet hen. The guy would say "hey, we're all ok, no harm done, if you think a simple refund of the meal is justified, the wife will probably calm down".
The Arby's guy told me they estimated that the scammer hit every fast food restaurant from Allentown to Trenton to Philly, never getting less than $25 to $30 bucks a score.
The ingenuity of people never ceases to amaze me.
This guy will get plenty of free meals in jail.
Conviction is the best outcome for all, since now Elias will get free meals plus a place to stay!
Sounds like something the bundy's would do.
