Dude Steals Empty Beer Truck
By Robert Paul Reyes
If a woman that you've been corresponding with via email makes a marriage proposal, don't accept until you've seen her in person, and if you're a thief contemplating stealing a beer truck don't swipe it until you've made sure it's not empty.
A thief who should probably be considering another line of work failed to take a quick peek inside a beer truck before he stole the damn thing.
"Police arrested a 21-year-old man for allegedly stealing a beer truck, then dumping the vehicle after determining it contained no cargo.
Police arrested the man on Monday on suspicion of felony theft of an automobile. Bail was set at $5,000 cash or bond on Tuesday." The Associated Press
I can only imagine the thief's disappointment, it's akin to buying classic Jazz CD's from a guy doing business from the trunk of his car only to later discover they are really Clay Aiken CD's.
Beer is very inexpensive, next time the fool wants to get a buzz he should content himself with a 6-pac and not dream of stealing a beer truck.
