Is that a guitar in your pants or...

LEWISTON, Maine (AP) - Police are searching for a man accused of shoving an electric guitar in his pants and walking out of a store in Lewiston, Maine.

Police say the theft occurred last week and they're looking for three men. One of the men shoved a Fender Stratocaster in his pants and pulled a sweatshirt over the top. The other two acted as lookouts.

All three can be seen on footage from video surveillance.

Strangely enough, the music shop has seen the method before. A man did the same thing in 2006 but was caught as he tried to walk out.




I want to know what the store employees were doing at the time...

Now, I can understand someone concealing lots of things in their pants to steal, but an Stratocaster?

That is rather ridiculous. All of those knucklehead employees need to be fired.

That is rather ridiculous. All of those knucklehead employees need to be fired.No kidding. Next thing you know, somebody will shoplift a drum set under their coat.

Yeah, I'd have boosted a telecaster with the Jazz pickups.

Back in the 80s my roommate busted a chick walkin' out of Wal-Mart with a color TV between her legs under her house dress.
