Three Thieves Steal Aquarium Shark in World"s Dumbest Heist
In a trully bizarre heist that may very well be the premise for the next Pain & Gain-style dark comedy, three absolute buffoons allegedly stole a shark from an aquarium.
Amazingly, they bundled up the shark in a stroller and disguised it as a baby.
We want to go ahead and reassure you that the shark was found safe and alive. But the twists and turns in this story are almost as unbelievable as the crime itself.
On Saturday, a shark was snatched from the San Antonio Aquarium in Texas.
As the aquarium shared on its Facebook page: "one of our employees reported seeing suspicious activity from a group of three people near one of our interactive shark touch tanks."
As you can see in the video, the suspicious activity was that the three alleged thieves caught a small shark with a net and stole her.
"Our General Manager, Jen Spellman, caught up with the suspects in the parking lot," the post reveals. "And was denied access to searching the vehicle and the stroller."
We can only imagine how that went down.
"Our 16-inch long Horn Shark was stolen from our tide pool exhibit while the attendant was assisting other guests," the aquarium reveals.
They continue, writing: "Surveillance video shows the suspects staking out the pool for over an hour for their opportunity."
"Surveillance footage also indicates that the suspects brought in a net to capture our shark," the page mentions.
"After grabbing our shark and placing her into a wet towel, they entered into one of our back rooms where they took a bucket that was half-full of bleach cleaning solution (used for disinfecting our tools)," the page explains. "And dumped it all into our cold water exhibit filtration system."
In case you are worried about some absolute monsters dumping a bleach cleaning solution into the aquarium"s filtration system, it was caught and the bleach was neutralized.
"This caused harm to multiple tanks, all of the tanks on that system, it is all connected. Including our seahorses, baby seahorses, jellies, and more."
According to the aquarium, had staff taken even a minute longer to notice that something was wrong, countless sea life from the aquarium would have perished.
"They then," the post reveals. "Took the sanitation bucket to aide in the transportation of the shark into the stroller, quickly exited up the stairs and out into the parking lot."
But the aquarium was already on their case, even though they were refused permission to search the trio"s belongings.
"We worked closely with Leon Valley and San Antonio Police Departments to recover our shark and apprehend the suspects," the page explains.
And there is good news!
"They located our shark, brought our Assistant Husbandry Director, Jamie Shank, there to identify Miss Helen and bring her back with us."
"Ammon Covino the owner of the San Antonio Aquarium wants to publicly show his appreciation to them for all the hard work they did in locating our shark," the post reads. "And allowing us to bring Miss Helen the Horn Shark back home."
Miss Helen might technically be considered evidence, but she"s also a sharknapping victim.
"We value the lives of all of our animals and take pride in the care that we can give them," the page says. "As well as the education that we can provide for the general public about these treasured species."
Here is Miss Helen, safe and sound.
"We are astonished but so grateful that she survived this catastrophic event," the aquarium writes.
"This guy knew what he was doing," they write begrudgingly. "Or she wouldn"t have survived."
A 38-year-old man who has not yet been identified has been arrested for taking the shark.
Police believe that he was seeking to replace a previous horn shark, who had died. Police found an aquarium at his home.
Investigators intend to arrest and charge the remaining two suspects when they are located.
This is a bizarre case. Despite some upsetting twists (though thankfully, Miss Helen is okay), it"s an entertaining story.
We can"t wait for the inevitable movie. We"re just surprised that, unlike Pain & Gain, this story won"t take place in Florida.

Khloe Kardashian: My Friends Are SNAKES and THIEVES!
Subtweeting is usually about someone having bad manners or letting someone know that you know.
It isn’t usually about crime.
But Khloe Kardashian shot out some tweets about a friend stealing from her … and is straight-up asking if she should go to the police.
“What would you do if you found out a friend was stealing from you?”
That was her tweet, seemingly out of nowhere, on Thursday.
But that wasn’t the end of what she had to say.
“Would you cut off the friendship and let God handle it? Or would you go the legal route?”
That was her second tweet, a clear follow-up to the first.
We know that the Kardashians subscribe to a very specific sort of Christianity, and we can respect that as much as we can respect anything about the Kardashians, but simply cutting off a friendship won’t stop them from stealing from the next person, you know?
She did clarify that she did not mean her friend, actress Malika Haqq, who had been named in some of the response tweets. “No, guys! Malika is my sister! Never ever ever! We ride for life.”
“Way TOO many shady people in the world. The grass is cut LOW. I see a few snakes.”
It’s a little unclear if that last one is talking more about the unnamed, “hypothetical” thief … or the responses that she was getting on Twitter.
Maybe both.
You know, if pregnancy rumors about Khloe and Tristan Thompson are true, this could be the hormones talking. But maybe not.
The strangest part of all of that is the bit about going to the police, right?
For most of us, Twitter is a great way to keep up with friends in real time, follow the news, have occasional brushes with celebrities, and make what we will of the occasional covfefe.
But for Khloe, it’s apparently a place to ask for legal advice.
But we think that we know what was going on there, and she wasn’t really asking for advice.
Because anyone who might have actually been stealing from her would probably want to stop at that point. Being caught is scary enough, but police involvement would be so much work.
Hell, they might even break off the friendship themselves out of fear that Khloe would turn them in.
The true purpose of subtweeting isn’t to share your situation with others, it’s to have your tweets read by their unnamed subject.
Khloe was sending a clear message.
If we hear that she’s called the cops on somebody, we’ll know for sure that it wasn’t received.
