Texas trio demonstrates the best way to steal a shark
Updated | By The Workzone with Barney Simon
Three thieves lifted a horn shark from the San Antonia Aquarium in Texas by disguising it as a baby.
Staff at the San Antonio Aquarium in Texas were stunned to see two men and a woman smuggling a baby horn shark out in a stroller.
Grabbing a hold of it by its tail and its head, the three lifted it out of an open tank, wrapped it in a wet blanket, and placed it in the stroller.
No one noticed that the shark was gone for 45 minutes after the suspects fled the scene.

Police were incredulous at first, wondering if this was perhaps an elaborate prank.
Experts predicted that the shark would be able to survive outside of the water for only two or three hours. Thankfully, the shark thieves were taking good care of the animal.
One of the suspects, apparently suffering from a guilty conscience, turned himself in the day after the incident. He will face a felony charge.
The thieving trio had a solid plan: no one would suspect a small family with a baby of a crime, right?
But the outcome of this expedition proves that this is not the best idea for making away with fish.
