Actor Tom Selleck has been stealing truckloads of water from a hydrant for his 60-acre ranch and avocado farm in California, according to a lawsuit filed by a water district.

The Magnum P.I. star and his wife Jillie Mack are accused of dispatching a white truck to a neighboring valley at least 12 times since 2013 to retrieve gallons of precious water, which is in short supply during the historic drought.

To catch him, Calleguas Municipal Water District has spent $22,000 on a private investigator, the Sun Sentinel reported.

But even after they were issued with a cease-and-desist notice, the lawsuit claims, the Sellecks continued to swipe tankloads from Thousand Oaks to bring back to Hidden Valley in Westlake Village, where they have lived for 30 years.

$50 worth of water?

I the past...Now Liquid gold.

[joshua c]

No way. Magnum didn’t make that much in the entire series.

[donozark]

Anytime libs can get something on the NRA they will do it.

Why would anybody live in that hell hole, Kalifornia?

Maybe you should ask the proprietor of this site.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Only targeted by California Leftists because he leans to the right.

[Fresh Wind]

He’s doing it to dodge taxing...basically gentleman farming

Just like Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi.

“Oh My Gawd!”

IIRC, years ago I read a article about Selleck having avocado groves on his “ranch”.

[Ditter]

Ranch sounds cooler than farm.

[Rebelbase]

TIME calls it an “Avocado Ranch”.

Git along little doggies!

And a white truck, no less. CONFIRMING HIS RACISM.

[Buckeye McFrog]

ahhh....so THAT’S his REAL offense....married to a woman

The increasingly desperate California water shortage is like a Divine warning of the abject stupidity of our immigration policy since 1965. It flies in the face of reality--not only in favoring immigration from many groups the least congenial to our traditional culture; but in ignoring that both space & resources are finite; that our first duty is to preserve our space & resources for our own posterity.

"Git of my Avocado Ranch"

OFF! D’oh!

Magnum would have done it for half that...

[JimRed]

Somehow I doubt that Selleck was driving a tank truck out to the hydrant, hooking up and filling, then driving back and irrigating his crops. Was it done with his knowledge?

[Georgia Girl 2]

I think the article says he raised avocados. So I guess they are getting the water for irrigation. It sure does not sound like something Tom Selleck would do. He’s always been pretty squeaky clean.

[WayneS]

That’s because it’s okay to steal water in a black truck...
