Stolen Oysters

On Saturday an old woman was caught shoplifting two oysters at our fish place. The shopkeeper made her give them back, and simply threw them back into the bin. I wondered who ended up buying them, and if they tasted any differently from other oysters that had not been stolen. Perhaps they'd been traumatized by the incident, felt the stigma of having been involved in a criminal act - however inadvertantly. Could such a thing lead to bitterness, or add an igneous, sulphurous note to an otherwise crisp, iodic nose?
