LOBSTER RUSTLERS! – Jan 5

A shipment of live lobsters worth $400,000 (* So, what, about 20 lobsters?) was hijacked while en route to Costco locations in Illinois and Minnesota. The FBI believes it to be the work of an organized criminal ring targeting high-end products. Current market prices for lobster vary between $17 and $47 per pound. The shipment left its origin point in Taunton, Massachusetts, but never made its way to the Midwestern Costcos. According to Dylan Rexing, CEO of the company that ships the lobsters, a similar theft of seafood took place at the same Massachusetts facility earlier in December 2025. “This theft wasn’t random,” Rexing said.
* Is any massive lobster theft really random?
* The company should’ve tailed ’em.
* Two thefts in a month? Now the CEO’s in hot water.
* So the lobsters got pinched, eh? Turnabout is fair play.
* There’s nothing lower than a lobster rustler. That’s because they lobsters crawl on their bellies, and you have to get down that low to get the little lasso over their antennas.
