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.

They should have kept the truck and returned the miller.

It's Miller time, big time, somewhere in Wisconsin.

Dang..I read the first part and thought they got away with beer. They got away with used beer.

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.

Hilarious! Did the company just not realize what they were saying?

No worries - it's from a different source and a day later as well. Dupe posts become a pain when multiple posters post identical within an hour.

I am drinking some 'Old Speckeled Hen' that I found today in Arlington. It comes in a four-pack- 14.9 oz cans with a gas cartridge in each. If you've never heard of it, it is an extremely nice English ale.

I'd rather have this than the truckload, thanks. :-)

Clearly terrorist related.  They were after the trucks.  They couldn't have been after the beer.

Any Wisconsin-based Freepers wanna owe up to this?

[Revolting cat!]

Why on earth would they steal Miller beer?

It's been reported it's good as a fertilizer additive. Spring time, ya know.

I replied to that thread, so I thought others on this thread might enjoy the "FReeper wisdom" and replies from that thread. Not a big deal, being this is over 24 hours since the previous thread.

Joke's on the crooks: They thought they stole beer.

"Vice President Cheney must be planning another hunting trip."

Now that's funny..

Are you sure this is the thread that the other thread was threaded to? We may want to unwind this thread and thread it back into a real thread.
