When the man refused to return the jewelry, she took seven goldfish from his west Pasadena home in the 1100 block of Queens Road to her apartment, Mitchell said. The man called police.Officers went to the woman's home to see if they could retrieve the fish.“She said, ‘They're in there,' and pointed to the kitchen,” Mitchell said.Finding a plate with four fried fish, officers asked where the others were. The woman answered, “I already ate those,” Mitchell said.

Totally unrelated, except for the goldfish part, and nowhere near as vicious.......
I was dating my x-wife at the time and we went up to DC, a 4 hour trip from where I was living at the time. Anywho, I had a goldfish I entrusted to my neighbor to take care of while we went on this trip.
When we came back a couple days later. I got a knock on the door. The lady was distraught and felt bad, and handed me the bowl and FLOATING FISH, explaining that she didn't know what had happened.
She felt so bad.
I get it, a pet is a pet and I understood her guilt, although completely not needed. But it was sweet and comforting that she cared.
But in this OP story, this explains the danger of the human's inability to contain their emotions. She only stopped at goldfish. Far too many people resort to far worse when reality doesn't match up with their utopias.
