Police in Seville discovered thieves attempting to get away with four tonnes of stolen oranges after pulling their vehicles over at the side of the road.
The fruit thieves were discovered after police became suspicious at the reaction of three vehicles when passing a patrol car on the road between Torreblanca and Mairena de Alcor in the region of Seville.
The cars, which were obviously being driven in convey, abruptly changed direction when the drivers spotted the patrol car ahead.
Police pulled over the two cars and a van to discover the vehicles were jam-packed with stolen oranges.
Five people were arrested for the theft of the fruit from a warehouse in Carmona.
Today, on Stupid People Tricks...
I worked for a month at an orange packing house in Dundee, Florida. This was during Christmas while I was in college.
We mostly filled semi trailers with boxed oranges. One day a rail car was left at the siding and we filled it. I could not believe how much more a boxcar held than a trailer.
When I went home to the Florida Panhandle, my Uncle who owned an orange grove packed my car almost as full as that one.
And this is how stock car racing started in Spain.
“I put a 392 in it because I was running moonoranges. Just seemed logical to start racing.”
Orange you ashamed of yourself?!
Orange thieves....red handed?
Somewhere, there is a party with a case of vodka and all the people looking expectantly out the windows for three cars.
“What are you doing with all of those oranges in the back of your car?”
“Well, Officer, this is an electric car and I was running out of juice.”
“Our little village has The Running of the Oranges. Last year, three American tourists were juiced. It was the pits.”
“Those are oranges? Damnit! The guy told me it was heroin.”
Like to see those cars full of oranges run through the crusher at the scrap yard.
I was friends with some plantation owners in Jamaica who caught some commercial level orange thieves at their estate that had been in operation since the 17th century
They fired them on the spot being they were employees
One of the employees came back and butchered their mom with a machete on their grounds
He was captured by a group of their other workers and promptly hanged by the owners
Didn’t bring their mother back ...it was gruesome.....she was late 70s

“Officer, these oranges are for the sailors in our village. There has been a terrible outbreak of scurvy.”
“Your village is inland. You have no Sailors.”
“Ah, That is true, but what of global warming? Soon the polar bears will be surfing into our poor village to eat the scurvy ridden sailors.”
Your comment has appeal.
They were busted by the Navel Criminal Investigative Service.
I saw something like that once at a Grateful Dead
concert once. Some kids thought they would make
a killing making Funnel cakes and made up 100 lb.
of dough but left it in the car in the sun.
It rose and oozed out of every window.
We thought this hilarious...once we stopped freaking out.
At least they weren’t pointed sticks , , ,
Did they attempt to peel off in their car?
Sounds like something out of Pulp Fiction.
