An (allegedly) true news story on a similar vein.....

"(2000, England) This tale proves that crime does pay, if you're fishing for elective surgery to go along with your stolen goods. A 24-year-old supermarket shoplifter stuffed a pair of live lobsters in his pants and sprinted for the door, but he never had a chance. The violated crustaceans brought the thief to his knees in front of startled cashiers when they fastened their powerful claws around his delicate parts. Doctors were able to remove the animals with pliers. They say the thief will fully recover -- except for one small detail. "It was a do-it-yourself vasectomy." The supermarket manager declined to press charges, saying the culprit has already "gone through enough pain (to) learn his lesson."

One of my favourite thefts was when someone for some reason stole all the trees from outside the Aquatech in Motherwell.

The resulting story in the Motherwell Times was one of the all time classic local paper stories.
