Windsor man caught with stolen meat in his pants

Source: The Windsor Star

We all know that food prices have been rising. Foregoing the fire-baked pizza and instead going to McDonald's for lunch is no longer a tactic reserved for the starving college intern, but at less than $5 for a meal, it's not a bad deal.

Other people have taken less kindly to these changes in food prices, as stuffing t-bone steaks in your pants has become a popular tactic for those addicted to bovine meat.

Of course, this man is certainly not the first to attempt such a crime, eh?
An off-duty cop and a grocery store manager chased down an alleged thief Monday after he tried to make his escape in a taxi cab, with six T-bone steaks crammed down his pants.

He put six T-bone steaks in the waist band of his pants, police said. The manager confronted him as he tried to leave the store.

The man with the meat jumped out of the cab and took off on foot, with the store manager on his heels.

An off-duty Windsor police officer saw the chase and witnessed the suspect dropping the steaks as he ran.
I'm curious what it is about t-bone steaks that makes people want to stuff them into their pants.
