ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Marnie Jones and her husband made it all the way home from the South Anchorage Costco before they realized they’d been robbed.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska â Marnie Jones and her husband made it all the way home from the South Anchorage Costco before they realized theyâd been robbed.
âWe had bought a four-pack of filet mignon steak,â Jones said. âIt was on the bottom of the cart, and he was pushing it through the bumpy snow.â
When they reached their vehicle, the meat slid onto the ground. Her husband turned his back to load groceries before realizing the pack had slipped. When they got home and put everything away, he noticed he was one steak short.
Then, it clicked.
âHe said, âOh my God, after I picked up that pack of steaks, I saw a raven in the parking lot with a steak in his mouth,ââ Jones said.
