In Poltava region, Ukraine, a 35 years old worker of the poultry farm tried to carry out 110 chicken eggs in a specially made jacket. He was stopped by the poultry farm security and handed over to the police.
The enterprising man sewed over a hundred inside pockets to his own jacket , in which he put the eggs he wanted to steal.
Now the man is being interrogated by the law enforcement officers.
Judging by the price of eggs (on average 27 UAH per ten eggs) before the Easter, he could have illegally earned about 300 hryvnias if he had thought to sell the stolen goods.

"the poultry farm security", a thing I never knew would exist.

How eggciting

He could have made millions selling those jackets to teenagers prior to Halloween... or maybe short-order breakfast cooks
h0tdoglatte

Hen-ovation in action.

Could have just bought a chicken and waited instead.

It's got to be pretty bad in a country where stealing eggs is lucrative.
RenaissanceFaireMan
"Dude, you wanna buy some premium eggs?"
flappocini
Imagine him falling down lmao
AllmyNoodlesGods
This is da same avacado BS...
RenaissanceFaireMan
I'm really concerned about this....he's smuggling chicken eggs? Not guns or drugs or anything like that, eggs. Chicken eggs.
RenaissanceFaireMan
"Sir, are you aware you have 110 eggs in your jacket?". "Yes" - guy. 'Okay, carry on...they're each under 3.4 ounces." - TSA security
eratosthenesearth
$11.47 USD. Looked it up.
XtremeFalcon222
Thats $$11 USA in eggs, folks, for him and his family to survive... *Ah-hem* most of America needs a reality check here
RenaissanceFaireMan
I don't understand, eggs? Are these chicken eggs? How is this smuggling? WTF is "poultry farm security"?
RenaissanceFaireMan
So the guy stole 10 dozen eggs....and I'm seeing it on fp.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Did he check those eggs as a carry on? "Yes, I wish to put some eggs in the overhead bin."
JoshJitsu
So, what is this in real money? Like 1.75$?
TooOldToBeRealLife
This poor guy. Imagine the desperation.
Margrave9000
To be fair, stealing from the workplace is a custom deeply rooted in history there. It's viewed as the common man's revenge over the bosses.
TooOldToBeRealLife
Thank you for the clarification. Makes much sense.
InfocalypseRising
I love that egg theft is enough of a problem that "poultry farm security" is a thing.
RenaissanceFaireMan
WTF is "poultry farm security"?
caramelballoffur
Uhh wat? That just means security guards working at the farm, any large farm has them, especially of there is a store on site
RenaissanceFaireMan
Uh, egg smuggling is a crime? My mom is going to be in so much trouble. She gives me a couple dozen eggs a month.
PhilaBlunt
Thank fucking God I don't live in eastern europe.
sloth94
it ain't that bad! Def better than the U.S. Plus he wanted to gain extra money by selling them& i guess it happens in every big factory
PhilaBlunt
You are literally retarded.
IAmBoredAtWork
BUT but I live in eastern Europe :(, it is not that awful, right? ... right? Now I'm sad...
cheekybuttcheek
But what if you saved up money, and then moved there? You could love like a king.
NulHeart
But who will be my love queen?
thesilentbob
Live like one too! Also, on a more serious note, not as bad as it's made out to be.
SMopfamn
Not really. Expensive cars/apartments are relatively similar price to western standards. There's just a huge gap between rich and poor there

remember eurotrip? "a nickel! I will start my own restaurant!"

I accidental did something like that, it's a shit deal unless you are completely vane.
marsgoose
You get lots of attention and brownnosing from the golddiggers and people who in general need favors.
marsgoose
But you get to the point where you don't trust anyone. Oh and nothing is made locally and the market for imported goods sucks.
marsgoose
So your standards of life are still lower than what it would be in the west.
SDOMO
That is the most depressing thing I will read all day. I cant imagine a world where I would have to put so much effort into finding food 1/2
RenaissanceFaireMan
Yeah, I don't understand. He has eggs.....it's a crime? Why does he need to smuggle eggs?
RenaissanceFaireMan
"Sir, open your your jacket. Eggs! I knew it....you have eggs! You're under arrest."
SDOMO
...he would have been better off stealing a hen, that would lay him eggs. 2/2

I wonder if this telling of his desperation, stupidity, or the relative poverty of the US
MrStarkLord
Please be dumb enough to think that's how exchange rates work.
Sc00ba5teeve
Relative poverty *to* the US, didn't notice the autocorrect in time.
Fahargo
This is Ukraine. Also really cheap eggs. Jesus
Sc00ba5teeve
Sorry, that was supposed to be "relative poverty TO the US" hence the low exchange rate.
jfred325350
That seems about equivalent to prices here..?
