La Vista Police spotted a semi with an empty trailer in an industrial area on Monday. It had been stolen from a Bellevue trucking firm lot.

Investigators have determined about 36,000 pounds of Blue Buffalo dog food worth about $120,000 had been stolen from the trailer.

No clues yet, seems the investigators are barking up the wrong tree.

I wonder what it would fetch on the black market?

CONSIDER A DAILY CHANGE JAR TO OPERATE FR

You won't even miss the 25 or 50 cents, but at the end of the month
you will have at least $5 to donate so FR can operate smoothly,
or you will moan and groan and go into withdrawal
when it is down, because of broken parts,
or over loaded servers during crisis events.

I knew a few kids in my life who would eat dog biscuits. And while working in the local grocery store during high school, I was told that some seniors would come to the store to buy canned dog food, not because they had dogs, but because it was the cheapest meat they could afford.

Not sure why they’re hungry for lead (iron-poor blood?) and I’m not sure how much lead they’ll find in that dog food.

It’s supposed to be a very hi quality dog food. I don’t know. I like dogs, but they can be a pita to take care of. I watch my Northern Ohio neighbors walking their dogs in our awful weather, and am glad I don’t have to do it anymore! I had a well-trained Briard when I had the 110 acre farm. I didn’t even have to walk him! Just open the back door. Brushing his coat could take hours though!

So where are they going to fence all this dog food.

I think the plan is to sell it in Asia - the locals will see “Dog Food” on the label and buy tons of it for snacks.
