That's how you turn petty theft into attempted murder. You go shrimp dude. You'll like prison -- plenty of bottom feeders.
Dude, really?

is stealing our shrimp. I'm going to get a picture of his license plate by standing directly in front of his car.
File this action under "bulb, not the brightest."
It all makes sense now

Someone is obviously scheming to get rich off of high-quality photos of shrimp.

Is merely a prawn in a larger scheme to drive up the price of seafood.
