If you’re going to steal food, why not lobster tails and steak? That’s the surf & turf loot that a 52-year-old man is accused of taking from Whole Foods Market. Darien police described his actions with this account (including accusations not proven in court):

Daniel Horowitz, who’s last known address was on Park Street in Stamford, but who was said to have moved from there, ordered $94.34 worth of porterhouse steaks from the meat department at the 150 Ledge Road supermarket at about 6 p.m. on May 15. He then moved on to the seafood counter, where he ordered eight lobster tails priced at a total of $87.92. Horowitz then walked through the produce department and out of the store, but not without a store employee noticing and following him outside.
