York
Alicia Jessop, from California, went for a bite of her first lobster roll, from Fox’s Lobster House. But while taking an Instagram pic — roll in the foreground, Nubble Light behind — she captured the exact moment a seagull nabbed the roll out of her hand.
This is why we can’t have nice things. I was trying to take a picture of the lobster roll I ordered in Maine and well, this happened 😂🤦🏻♀️ pic.twitter.com/N601vpQ41h

Portland
Starbucks employee Madison Watkins spotted the Blue Steel gaze of Ben Stiller at the coffee chain’s Commercial Street location. The actor posed for a photo with the starstruck barista, then ordered a grande mocha, no whip.
Had the chance to meet @RedHourBen at my Starbucks in Portland, ME today. Super cool guy, and he was really nice about taking a picture 😊 pic.twitter.com/M9U9jYO2zX

Kennebunkport
Archeologists pulled a 700-to-800-year-old Native American yellow-birch canoe from the intertidal muck off Cape Porpoise. It’s one of just four dugout canoes ever recovered in Maine and the only one that predates European settlement.
Skowhegan
Thieves took 120 whoopie pies from the Skowhegan Lions Club booth at the town fairground. The sticky-fingered bandits also made off with cookies and drank half a gallon of iced tea. They pose no apparent threat to health-food stores.
Dover-Foxcroft
Piscataquis County Sheriff’s officer Matt Poole snapped a photo of a young moose breaking and entering downtown. The juvenile delinquent smashed the front window of a former pizza joint, rooted around inside, and made a getaway.
