The supermarket employees couldn't help but notice the bulge in his shorts

Boston Police report a Worcester man ordered some scallops and a chicken lobster at the deli department at the Hyde Park Avenue Shaw's yesterday, then put them in his shorts. Unfortunately for him, police say, store employees noticed his newly enlarged package as he tried to walk out of the store without paying and detained him until police arrived to put the pinch on him.

No word if the store put the seafood back or if police held it for evidence.

Boston Police also report on some trashy neighbors at 84 Bunker Hill St., Charlestown:

The victim and her sister who share an apartment reported to officers that they were sitting inside their home when they heard their glass sliding door open and their neighbor dump a plastic bag of trash inside their house. The victim reported that she in turn took the bag of trash outside and placed in front of her neighbor's door. The victim and her neighbor share a common deck and apparently have been arguing about leaving trash on the deck.

The victim reported that after she placed the trash bag in front of the suspect's door, he came out, confronted her and threatened to throw her off the 2nd floor deck. The victim informed officers that her neighbor then attacked her, knocking her to the ground causing to suffer the laceration to her shoulder. The victim reported that she grabbed a nearby 2X4 to defend herself when the suspect grabbed it from her and threw it at her as she retreated back to her house to call the police.

And that's how Brian P. Guarnieri, 34, came by to be arrested yesterday.

Innocent until proven bulgy by way of a chicken lobster.

Or, maybe, much smaller ones.

A lobster in your shorts? I don't care how tightly that lobster's claws may be bound or pegged or whatever, that's not something I'd EVER do.

I worked at a supermarket for a few years back in college, and had several interesting shifts with the plainclothes store detective.

We actually did stop a guy who tried to put a lobster down his pants. It's hard to take a picture of the perp for store records when you're laughing too hard.

I learned some interesting tactics on that job. We weren't supposed to pursue a shoplifter if they made it outside. How do you keep a perp in the store when you're casually tailing them but they're about to make it to the automatic door? Hold up a $10.00 bill. "Excuse me, sir, did you drop this ten dollar bill?"

When they turn back around for it (or even to say "No, that's not mine") you've just bought enough time for the Loss Prevention guy to grab 'em. I saved my store the indignity of losing an entire ham that way once.

Golly

Those are some big trousers!

Sweatpants, the shoplifter's friend

A whole lotta stuff can go in sweatpants. Sometimes they don't stay in the sweatpants, but that was the second-favorite location besides "up under the shirt."

Sorry, have to say it

Is that a ham in your sweatpants, or are you just glad to see me?

sure wasn't happy

The ham guy had it under his jacket, actually. But the lobster guy had sweatpants. The fact that the sweatpants immediately turned, well, damp when he tried to introduce a lobster to them was an even funnier indicator of his mischief.
