Meat thief halted by ham to the face — those Brits know how to have fun
This is an amusing, sort of, story about an attempted meat theft in England. You can read the details here, about how the restaurant owner hammed it up and foiled the bad guy.
Apparently, the thief, arms loaded with 20 pounds of frozen meat — two bags of linguica, a prosciutto log and a ham — takes advantage of the lunch rush and cruises out the outside cellar door of this restaurant in Gloucester, England. But the restaurant owner, no chump himself, knows he’s the only one who should be going out that door. Racing to the street, he sees one of his waitresses returning from break. “Who’s that guy carrying the meat down the street?” she asks her equally puzzled boss.
When the restaurateur cornered the guy, the guy swung the 5-pound, frozen solid log of prosciutto above his head in a threatening way, so the restaurateur slammed the guy in the face with the ham.
End of theft. End of story. (The police never found the suspect. He apparently is still on the lamb — I mean, lam.)
