How is it that on one day almost $200,000 in beer is stolen by two different guys that are thousands of miles and an ocean apart? I doubt these guys were in cahoots but you have to admit that it is one hell of a coincidence. Especially since they both pulled off their heists by driving off with semi trucks loaded with beer.
One robbery took place in Dallas, TX where a guy hopped into a semi loaded with $100,000 of beer that was stopped at a truck stop and drove off.
Police said the 18-wheeler was stolen from a truck stop off South Lancaster near Interstate 20 around 7 p.m.The truck driver told officers his truck was loaded with approximately $100,000 worth of beer.
The second robbery took place in Dublin where a theif drove into the Guiness brewery and drove out with a trailer containg 270 barrels of beer valued at around $94,636 U.S.
The lone raider’s haul also contained 180 kegs of Budweiser and 90 barrels of Carlsberg lager, police said. “A man drove into the yard in a truck and took a trailer containing the drink which has an estimated value of 64,000 euros (46.000 pounds),” a police spokesman said.
I don’t know what these guys are going to do with all that beer but I would like to think they are going to throw a couple of kick ass parties. In fact if either one happens to be reading Tastybooze feel free to throw a little beer our way and we will keep it hush hush.
