Britain may have the most dramatic bank hesit, but Wisconsin has the world's most daring beer burglars-

having spent much time in the land'o cheeseheads, I am not surprised one bit that such nefarious suds-stealing is going on there. A badger needs his beer.




Mega beer run made by thieves

WEST BEND, Wis. (AP) - Authorities are hoping to break up what must be quite the party after beer thieves made off with almost $26,000 worth of suds from a delivery truck.
A semi trailer loaded with cans and bottles of Miller beer was stolen from a trucking company in Richfield, according to a Washington County Sheriff's Department report. The trailer was found four days later - sans beer - at an Oak Creek trucking firm.

The trailer had been dropped off at the Millis Transfer Co. sometime on Feb. 17 for delivery to a beer distributor in Menomonie, authorities said. Later that night, the trailer was discovered missing.

Company officials didn't report the loss immediately because they thought a driver must have picked up the wrong load.

The sheriff's department is investigating with Oak Creek authorities and Miller officials, said Sheriff's Capt. Dale Schmidt.

The missing product, valued at $25,788, included:

- 384 24-packs of Miller Genuine Draft cans

- 560 eight-packs of MGD 12-ounce bottles

- 980 eight-packs of MGD 12-ounce cans

- 40 24-packs of Miller Light 16-ounce plastic bottles

Sounds like just enough suds for one frat party or dorm party at some University of Wisconsin campus. Maybe it was college kids. If so, they can catch them in a few days at the recycling center.

It must have been an unpremeditated crime. There's no way in hell someone would make plans to rob a truck of Miller.

you can't buy that kind of publicity

the marketing guys at the beer company must be jumping for joy: you pay more for a 30-second ad on a radio station than they get from repeated, interesting news reports on this event.
