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.

Any Wisconsin-based Freepers wanna owe up to this?

Opinions or comments - anyone?

[Billthedrill]

I hate it when the MSM reports like this. Which was it - Miller or beer?

Has anyone seen Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields lately in a Black Hot Rod??????? This sounds like a job by "Smokey and the Bandit."

Why on earth would they steal Miller beer?

If I was a Wisconsin-based Freeper, I'd be somewhat non-plussed if I didn't get invited to the ensuing party. LOL :-)

Hope they don't try to drink it all at once.

that's kind of what I was thinking too.

What kind of desperation would drive a man to steal Miller?

I am not the "previous thread" police, but here is a thread from yesterday. I think this is the same article.

The thieves have already punished themselves by the nature and the quality of the stuff they took. The next time they would hopefully go for something better, say, a few cases of Smirnoff.

Miller - not worth the risk imho.

I had my eyes closed so I didn't read your post

[GSlob]

Don't remind me of Iron City. Years ago there was an ad poster in Pittsburgh "you cannot keep an Iron Man down" and it was the holy truth in advertising, for having drunk it one was bound to throw UP.

Hmmm, I used the Search function before posting this.
