Fish Fry Gone Awry

Last summer, former Giants shortstop Juan Uribe decided to enjoy a nice evening in which included a fried fish dinner. Apparently Uribe is no Long John Silver or Gorton or Mike from Season 2 of Top Chef (creator of the Cheeto Snickers amuse buche).  Neither has he attended any culinary institute or even watched 10 minutes of the Food Network. According to the landlord, Uribe started a grease fire that destroyed the kitchen causing $145,000 in damage. He decided to take the Officer Barbrady approach - there is nothing to see here. Not sure what we has thinking, it's not like a red wine stain on a pillow that you flip over to hide the blemish. Mr. Clean would flip you off if you asked him to clean that.

Just to pour a little salt in his wound, let's do a little math. What can $145K buy?
