MIAMI - Police are fishing for information on the thieves who stole more than $1 million worth of lobster from a seafood company, authorities said today.
The thieves looted about 71,000 pounds of individually wrapped lobster tails Saturday night from the freezers of Carlos Seafood, at 4041 NW 28th St., police said.
They then tried to sell some lobster tails to a Hialeah seafood restaurant whose owner realized there were stolen and turned two women sellers away. Video surveillance cameras captured the event.

Now, why would anyone steal that much *perishable* merchandise without having a pre-arranged buyer.

The lobsters will be found in a cooler. The thieves will be headed for a different kind of cooler.

Few details other than surveillance photos at the link. The amount suggests they may have driven off with one or more fully loaded refrigerated containers.

Michael: So Kramer, where’d you get all these lobsters, at the Fleesher’s Market?
Kramer: No, I got ‘em in the ocean.
Michael: The ocean? What’d you mean?
Kramer: Well, I found this rope and I kept tugging on it, and all these lobsters came up.
Michael: Those are commercial lobster traps. You can’t take those lobsters from there. That’s against the law.
Kramer: Take it easy. There’s plenty of lobsters in the ocean for everyone.
