When a headline begins with "Florida man...", I always know I'm in for something good.

Love is over.
What is this? An episode of trailer park boys?
I was hoping the headline was about lobsters. Back in December 2025 there was a news story of $400k of live lobsters stolen in mid-shipment. I was hoping to hear of something from that heist.
“This wasn’t just a case of someone trying to ‘meat’ their budget. This was a calculated, ‘high-steaks operation’ that left two stores with significant losses,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said on January 30
Glad the sheriff is steaking this seriously.
So approximately $3600 between two businesses is significant losses? Wtf.
A Publix no less, a company valued at $50 billion, who is currently facing a federal class action for forcing hourly workers to work during breaks and off the clock, and who settled a separate lawsuit in 2000 after stealing $1.1 million in wages from its employees. No arrests made for any of these thousands of thefts, yet this guy is facing felony charges for stealing a few hundred dollars in product (actual cost not 'retail value').
A $1,000 theft is a felony, so, yes.
My conspiracy gland wonders whether that limit is ever adjusted for inflation, and since it's (probably) not, if it's intentional to funnel more money/people into the privatized prison system.
Disgusting. All those animals died for absolutely nothing. Feed him to the gators.
I like bread and butter, I like toast and jam...
