I’m betting he was arrested because someone tried the Sushi.

Samwich… can you imagine??? It would mean I wouldn’t have to go downtown to find scooby snacks!!! AND you could get lunch all in one quick pickup.
I bet he hid his scale in one of the boxes too.
I wonder if all his lunch treats we “within midtown lunch price range”.

Wow… hey tipster, here’s what I do, esp in daylight situations where no flash or steady hands are needed… I casually walk by and hold my camera (strap around my wrist) while it’s on and kind of hold it close to my body, aiming towards whatever I want… and take a few quick snaps. It helps if you can turn off your camera’s sound (you can do this on Canon, not sure about other cameras)… I’ve gotten a couple of super stealth shots that way. Hehehe. The cops probably wouldn’t even notice; they’d just think you were looking around and holding your camera up as you walked by ;)

Oh lordy… Zach, I feel responsible. Japanese Tupperware Man in the Hoosegow. This can’t be coincidental. Hope the poor guy makes someone a good wife in the joint. Maybe he can throw the masses bentos to protect his sphincter.
