Mesa, Ariz. police tracked down a man who allegedly stole baby snakes from a pet store by stuffing them into his pants, /The Arizona Republic reported.

Surveillance video shown on KPNX from Predator's Reptile Center shows a man -- who police say is Eric Fiegel -- examining cages of albino boa constrictors before furtively snatching a serpent and jamming it into his baggy shorts on July 30.

The thief returned later that day to steal other exotic snakes and then sold them for $175 and a large reptile tank valued at $175 at another shop, The Republic said.

Using the security tapes and a tip from an eyewitness who jotted down Fiegel's license plate number outside the store, cops arrested him on Tuesday.

File this under "stupid criminals." A Carlisle, Pa., man is in police custody after trying to steal a rack of ribs by stuffing them down his pants.

According to The Sentinel, Donald Noone, 65, was highly intoxicated when he entered a Giant grocery store and tried to shove $20.48 worth of meat down his pants.

But this wasn't Noone's first brush with the law -- or with ribs. He was also detained by police in May for trying to do the same thing with $13.34 worth of meat.

He was charged with retail theft and public drunkenness and, as far as we know, has not yet been able to satisfy his cravings for ribs.

I think your title is misleading.

It should read: trouser snake(s) Very Happy

A man in southern Mississippi is accused of trying to walk out of a D'Iberville grocery store without paying for food items he'd stuffed into his cargo shorts including live lobsters.

Police Chief Wayne Payne says 35-year-old Nathan Mark Hardy was arrested Saturday after allegedly being caught stuffing food into his cargo shorts � two bags of jumbo shrimp, a pork loin and two live lobsters.

Payne says Hardy, of Biloxi, tried to escape by throwing the pork loin at employees at the local Winn Dixie but fell while running away. He was arrested at the scene.

The shoplifting charge is a misdemeanor, but Hardy remained jailed Wednesday in the Harrison County jail with no bond pending a hearing on a probation violation.

I was watching the local morning Tampa news about this report, and the two anchors were struggling to keep a straight face. Then the fairly hot anchor woman said, " I heard that the police said to the suspect, 'Is that a snake in your pants?' ". And then they both burst out laughing.

Oh, the things they can get away with live on air at 6:15 in the morning.
