WEST BEND, Wis. - 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.
The trailer had been dropped off at the Millis Transfer Co. sometime on Feb. 17 for delivery to a beer distributor in Menomonie, authorities said. Later that night, the trailer was discovered missing.
Company officials didn't report the loss immediately because they thought a driver must have picked up the wrong load.
The sheriff's department is investigating with Oak Creek authorities and Miller officials, said Sheriff's Capt. Dale Schmidt.
The missing product, valued at $25,788, included:
_ 384 24-packs of Miller Genuine Draft cans
_ 560 18-packs of MGD 12-ounce bottles
_ 980 18-packs of MGD 12-ounce cans
_ 40 24-packs of Miller Light 16-ounce plastic bottles

I would have never guessed that a beer truck carries about $25,000 worth of goods. But then, now that I think about just how tight you can cram stuff in one of those huge trailers, it really isn't surprising.

ROFL, I used to live in West Bend. That's a lot of beer. They'll just watch the trash.
