Thief pays for lobster he pinched from tank

A man who pinched a live lobster from a fish tank over two months ago, finally paid for it yesterday at Cork District Court — and left a tip.

The live lobster was stolen from a fish tank at Good Fish Company in Douglas Court, Cork, on April 5.

Michael Austin, of 41 St Joseph’s Terrace, Passage West, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to the theft yesterday.
