80,000 pounds of beef stolen from Tennesee meat processing facility
(www.newsnationnow.com)
40 tons
And whaddya get?
Remember: if you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.
Chaotic Good: Donate it to food pantries and soup kitchens.
Chaotic evil: Dump it on the steps of the capitol building and build a giant ground beef Mitch McTurtle.
I bet it was Arby's, they always claim to have "the meats".
What on earth could someone do with 80,000 lbs of beef? You can't exactly move that kind of volume on the black market. Storing that amount of beef alone would take a massive amount of space and cooling.
It would take precisely two refrigerated semi truck trailers.
Fresh beef could be easily, easily sold, not even on the black market.
Print a fake bill of lading for delivery to any random grocery warehouse, write on the bill that it was rejected for some irregularity that has nothing to do with product quality (shipped wrong item, order was canceled but shipped anyway, anything really), and call up random food distributors until you find a buyer.
Burn it.
Someone had some beef with Tennessee
In other News:: the Knoxville FD is having a spaghetti dinner fund raising....
Hey these guys we've never heard of are cheap, let's hire them to transport stuff for us.
I saw some video about this kind of stuff. I want to say it was John Oliver.
Anyway, these shipping companies basically hop on this Craigslist circa 2002 looking website and hire truckers off it. So, they likely did just get the cheapest guy.
For some reason I just got a flashback to that football kid who tried to steal crab legs by putting them down his pants. I’m just imagining these thieves walking out with 40 tons of beef overflowing from their pants.
