A man wearing a black shirt and a baseball cap walked into A to Z pet store in Portland, Oregon and stole a two-foot long python. He boldly grabbed the snake from the tank, stuffed it into his trousers and left as evidenced by the store CCTV. The thief readjusts his clothing before returning to the pet store to browse the aisles once more.
The shop owner said she was left dumbfounded after seeing the CCTV footage of the man taking the python, which would sell for £275 [$400]. “We thought ‘Oh my gosh, he put it in his pants.’ He opened up the front, dropped it in, situated it, adjusted himself and walked out.”
“It is not normal. That is not a place you want to put a snake.” Sergeant Gred Stewart from Portland Bureau, said no arrest had been made and this was the first time he had investigated such bizarre theft. That means that the man is still on the loose, probably looking for another python to steal.
