LEWISTON, Maine (AP) – Police are searching for a man accused of shoving an electric guitar in his 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 store has seen the method before. A man did the same thing in 2006 but was caught as he tried to walk out.
I would love to see the video. Either the description of “in his pants” is overly generous or this guy has some really odd pants.
I suspect it was the neck of the guitar that was shoved down the pants, with the sweatshirt covering the body. One thing about electric guitars; they’re pretty flat.
