Trailer Full of Broccoli Disappears
 VILLA PARK, Ill. - Someone got way more than the recommended daily serving of vegetables when a refrigerated trailer loaded with $50,000 worth of broccoli was stolen. Possibly the Greens? Or the Lettuce Ladies? The 48-foot trailer disappeared from its rented parking space in the Chicago suburb of Villa Park sometime between Sunday and Tuesday morning, police said.
If somebody eats all that broccoli they're gonna need a butt-load of Beano. ... so to speak. "What is someone going to do with that amount of produce?" Zorich said. "On the black market, I can't imagine that's something that's worth money to anybody." Oh, I don't know. Think about all the Black Market Broccoli-Cheese soup that can be made. All they need to do is steal a truckload of cheese. Police entered the trailer into a stolen-vehicle database, but had no immediate leads. "We have homicides happening in town," Zorich said. "We're not really looking for a truck of broccoli right now." Besides, you can't get your kids to eat broccoli anyway. Posted by: Deacon Blues 2006-12-29 |
