Seagull Photobombs Tourist, Steals $21.50 Lobster Roll

MALIBU, CA — Who's the bigger foodie — the Pepperdine professor on vacation photographing her lobster roll, or the seagull who stole it?

Alicia Jessop, a 34-year-old sports law professor, was visiting Maine for the first time and wanted to document her first lobster roll, The Guardian reported. While she was lining up the perfect shot of her lunch in front of Nubble Lighthouse in York, a seagull swooped down and stole her roll.

"I was really embarrassed. You hear stories of people taking crazy Instagram pictures and hurting themselves, and I was like, 'Oh my God, you are now that person,'" she told The Guardian.

As she was heading back to the lobster shack for another lobster roll, she realized she captured the seagull's heist on camera, CNN reported.

"I must have pushed the button as he was swooping in because I didn't realize that I had captured the picture as it happened," Jessop told the news station.

She posted the photo to Instagram while eating her second $21.50 lobster roll.
