Thief slithers away with a big snake — in her pants
Police in Michigan's capital are searching for a woman who stuffed a baby boa constrictor down her pants and slipped away from a local pet store, the Lansing State Journal tells us.
Security cameras recorded the heist yesterday, the owner of Preuss Animal House told the LSJ. (Like USA Today, it's owned by Gannett.) The woman opened a glass case, snatched the snake and jammed it you-know-where.
The juvenile boa was 18 to 22 inches long and cost $175, according to owner Rick Preuss.
As you no doubt know, boas are not quite native to the Great Lakes state; they call Central and South America home. When fully grown they can be 13 feet long and weigh up to 100 pounds.
“They like warmth, and don’t mind tight spots,” Preuss said.
Although he said the nonpoisonous snake posed no danger to the thief, Preuss expressed concern for his pilfered reptile.
“I’m far less concerned about the person than about the snake,” he said.

Don't they all Mr. Pruess? Don't they all...
