APPETIZER
We start today with some crime news. Police in Southern California are looking for a burglar who stuffed, wait for it, 30 bags of frozen shrimp down his pants.
From the Associated Press:
A thief stuffed a total of 30 bags of frozen shrimp down his pants in back-to-back burglaries of a Southern California grocery store, police said Wednesday.
The man took the shrimp from a Vons market in the city of Riverside by entering the store three times in a span of 15 minutes on Dec. 14.
Each time he went to the frozen food section and concealed the shrimp in his pants, Riverside police said in a statement.
