Man Spends 3 Hours Using Fishing Rod To Reel In A Versace Necklace

That's the one, Marv. That's.....

To be a great fisherman you've got to be patient, focused, determined, and adventurous. This Aussie gent had all those qualities, not to mention a very comfy looking tracksuit that proved perfect for a long night of reelin' & stealin'. 

From Australia's ABC News:

Police are trying to catch a man who used a fishing rod to steal a Versace necklace off a mannequin through a shop window in Melbourne's central business district.

The man spent almost three hours trying to hook the $800 costume jewellery off the dummy's neck, after breaking a hole in the window of high-end fashion boutique lestyle in Little Collins Street.

Police said the thief used two different-sized rods before eventually reeling in the Medusa medallion necklace just after 2:00am on Monday February 24.

Lestyle owner Steven Adigrati said the man chipped a hole in the glass without setting off the alarm.

Going off more photos in the news, the necklace looked similar to this one below that I found on a public Insta page & selected because the arrangement was visually stimulating & made me tilt my head to the side a little bit in intrigued confusion. 

Anyways, the man is still on the loose but with the clarity of the video captured I doubt it's long before they nab him. If the prison has a claw machine (assuming it will??) this guy is gonna be super popular in there.

I expect to see an update on the Barstool Outdoors Instagram page at some point this week.
