How dumb are crooks these days. Somewhere in Canada there are thieves with nearly 50,000 cans of beer they will have a hard time selling, although
police said Thursday the truck driver who disappeared with the loot has been arrested.
The news has gotten out, and if these guys try and sell the beer, it will be pretty obvious that it is stolen. The shipment of Moosehead beer, worth
over $75,000 (Canadian) was heading to Mexico from it's birthplace in a East Coast brewery. Well, it didn't get there.
Why are people so
low that they need to do this sort of thing? The guy is working at a truck driver, and desides that he wants to make 75
grand? The guy makes more than that a year. And now, chances are he's going to lose his job. I wish people would think before they act more often.
The shipment of Moosehead was labeled in English and Spanish for export to Mexico, so it could not be sold in Canada. Nor could it be shipped into or
through the United States without proper documentation.
"They can't sell it anywhere in Canada without giving away the immediate fact that it's been stolen... So we have crooks stuck with 50,000 plus
cans of beer that basically they can't fence."
Not alot of the beers have been found yet. They found a few cans - most of them empty - in various parts of the New Brunswick province.
Then they found about 5,000 more in a 1/2 ton truck with a trailer.
Crime doesn't pay, morons.
