Brazen Thief Steals Snake by Putting It down His Pants

Guess he had two trouser snakes that day.

An Oregon pet shop owner is hoping police will be able to help her catch a thief who stole a snake from her shop.

Christin Bjugan owns the A to Z pet shop in Portland, Oregon and was shocked when one of her most prized animals was stolen. According to KPTV in Oregon, a thief stole a $200 black pastel ball python from her shop on Friday. After receiving the news that the snake was gone, she began looking through surveillance videos of the shop to try and see who stole the snake and exactly when.

Bjugan was shocked when she saw the man who stole her snake and how he took it,

"You'll see him put it in his pants -- yuck. Just drops it right in the front."

She saw then the man simply walked out of the shop, "trying to act like there wasn't a snake in his pants." She said she has seen that man in her shop before and wants the man to be caught and the snake to be found. The owner also added that the men was lucky it wasn't feeding day for the snake.
