Burglars Kill Fish Because They "Didn't Want to Leave Witnesses”

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday February 15, 2011 @05:49AM from the better-safe-than-sorry dept.

A group of teenage burglars appear to have mistaken Doctor Dolittle for a documentary. After breaking into an apartment and stealing various items, one of the thieves decided to kill the goldfish so they couldn't be identified. “According to the police report, he looked at the fish tank and said ‘We can’t leave any witnesses.’” From the article: "When the residents returned home they also found hot sauce, mustard, ketchup and spices had been poured into their fish tank and three goldfish floating at the top, police said."

Is that haunted fish from South Park that was Stan's(?) and kept killing people. That fish would have survived all the hot sauce!
