Reuters is Reporting a Theft of A Delivery Truck.

It was carrying no joke, 12 tons of Kit Kat Bars. Someone really must have needed a break. 😛 This happened in Europe.

In all seriousness though I hope the thieves don't intend to do something nefarious with the truck or candy bars. Nestle said they are coded so they are alerting people about the bars to look out for.

KitKat, which is made by Nestle, said the truck carrying 413,793 ‌bars of ⁠its new range set off from central Italy to distribute ⁠the chocolate throughout Europe, but never reached its scheduled final destination in ​Poland.

The vehicle ​and the ​merchandise remain unaccounted ‌for. Nestle did not reveal where exactly the truck was lost.

...in a south suburbs of Chicago, somebody stole a beer truck.
My dad was a milk driver for the supermarkets and all those guys knew one another. He got it first hand from the guy whose truck was stolen.
I'm not sure what became of it, but somebody got a whole truck load of beer.
Big party??

Old Style was big here, but so were Bud, Falstaff, & Hamm's.
Wasn't Falstaff though, because my dad was good friends with one of the brothers who owned the Falstaff distributorship. Naturally, I knew them too.
If it was them, I'd have remembered that.
