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
Posted: Saturday, Feb 25, 2006 - 01:03:47 am CST
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. |

Ehhh...except for maybe Koreans.
MGD was always a safe bet if a Korean girl was going to be drinking with us. |
