BOLO for big scotch and beer heists!

At least it wasn’t that valuable product “Bud Lite”.
‘She Who Shall Not Be Named’ doesn’t actually ATTEND her heists or random ‘suicides’...
*SNORT*
Damn! We live in NW Jersey and I have not seen a drop of this stuff that I have never heard of before, but willing to try anyway. Love bourbon.
Whiskey and canned tobacco are great stores of wealth for when TSHTF.
Just follow the trail of passed out drunks.

Check with the Goodfellas.
So what did they take? A case of Pappy Van Winkle 20 year old bourbon?
I can’t believe we have to buy a lottery ticket to win a chance to buy one bottle.
Guess I’ll stick with Elijah Craig.
Fixed it.
Heh. You should see the memes from Bon Mots. Priceless.
Sounds like a scene from The Shield.
1,000 cases are a lot of stuff. I think I would ask for a ransom rather than trying to fence it.
Maybe insurance fraud.
Elijah Craig Small Batch.
Elijah Craig small batch, Evan Williams bottled in bond, Member Mark single barrel. All economical and tasty.
