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

1. Only In Wisconsin.

End of Line.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. That's not beer, that's piss.

What kind of asshole idiot steals Miller?

Stupid fucks shoudl be charged with multiple felonies just for being tasteless ignorant fuckwads.

15. Exactly, that stuff is not worth stealing

MGD and Miller Lite? :puke:

If they were true Wisconsinites, then stealing a truck of Leinies or New Glarus makes sense, but not Miller.

8. Didja ever marinate Little Smokies in vinegar and water?

It makes them tangy. :)

[Heidi]

9. Truth be told,

I _love_ Little Smokies, but I haven't had them in any form for more than 10 years. It's good I can't buy them here, because they go _straight_ to the hips and thighs. :blush:

[BikeWriter]

12. We used to cook them in spaghetti sauce for a quick easy meal.

[Heidi]

14. Yeah, but

you're a man, and you needn't be concerned about your hips and thighs. :rofl:

[BikeWriter]

17. You're right. I don't spend much time worrying about that!

[Heidi]

18. Do Little Smokies go someplace else

Explanation; hubby used to work for Quad- a huge Wisconsin firm. The shift workers do a seven days (or nights) 12 hour shift, twice a year. Beer is popular at the end.

Dead-Eye dickless has a hunting trip this weekend with harry and the little shrubbie? Well, Laura is running low of Zanax and she needs something to soothe her little baby. This way, she won't have to help him tie his shoes all weekend long!

[jakefrep]

28. It appears....

that the value of that beer has been grossly inflated.

[Initech]

29. Couldnt they have ripped off a better beer?

Although I would seriously go party with those guys! :beer:

[jakefrep]

32. I would think so...

Isn't there signage on the beer trucks that indicates what's inside. It can't be THAT difficult.
