In January of 1950 the city of Boston was the scene of the largest heist in U.S. history when Big Joe McGuinness and his gang lifted 3 million from the Brinks Armored Car Company.
Now the city is once again setting a record - this time for the largest lobster heist in history. In mid December 2019, a 29 year old 'losah' (loser) from Southie, (South Boston) 'allegedly' jumped into a box truck with 10 thousand bucks worth of 'Lobstahs' (lobsters)
and tried to drive off towards Beverly or Salem. But the 'yegg' was spotted by employees of the New England Lobster company who saddled up and gave chase.
A couple of the workers followed the crook with a second New England Lobster Company truck. The guy who was scheduled to be driving the lobster truck, mounted his personal vehicle and joined in the 3 vehicle chase through the ancient streets of the home-town of the Boston Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins.
The guy in the car routed the thief, by smashing his vehicle into the front end of the stolen truck. The guys in the other lobster truck slammed into the back end of the truck stuffed with the lifted 'lobstahs'.
After they had the stolen truck wedged in, the employees dismounted and 'assisted' the 'alleged' crook out of the stolen truck. The 'alleged' stooge is now cooling his heels in the can. I think the guy could make bail, but will probably decide to stay safe in the lock-up, rather than try to take to the streets of Boston as long as the 'Lobstah Cowboys' are still in town.
