=====================================================================

Aug. 27 (UPI) -- A California sheriff's office said deputies conducting a traffic stop arrested a man found to be transporting 800 pounds of stolen lemons.

The Riverside County Sheriff's Office said Thermal Station Deputies assigned to the Southern Coachella Valley Community Services District Team were investigating a string of recent agricultural thefts when they conducted the traffic stop Friday.

The sheriff's office said Los Angeles resident Dioncio Fierros, 69, was found to be transporting about 800 pounds of freshly picked lemons that had been illegally taken from a nearby farm.

Fierros was booked into the Indio Jail on a charge of theft of agricultural products.

Who knew there was enough of a market for “hot” lemons that an individual would wrestle 800 pounds of them into a car?

Thanks for info. I never saw anyone hawking bags of lemons but so be it. In Californication they usually sell drugs or offer not to screw up your car for a price

And I could eat the whole thing——followed,of course,by the lemon cookies.

They look like limes to me.

They are usually green on the outside when picked; they turn yellow when they ripen.

HS or junior HS - for all kinds of drugs, porno, sex toys, weapons, and sex ( the latter when the teachers aren’t playing with the kids )? The worst of it all are some of the drugs - some of the kids are as spaced out as some of the teachers! They look permanently brain damaged.
