With the aid of a little know-how and a massive set of balls, thieves made off with a tractor-trailer loaded with booze early Sunday morning, 27 April 2008, from Langley, Virginia’s 3D Transport. Unfournately for them, the trailer was only a partial load and the thieves’ haul was less than $200,000 of inexpensive wine and imported beer. The load contained 500 cases of Peroni beer, 720 cases of Castle Lager, 112 cases of Trivento red wine, and 56 Cases of Max Reserva Shiraz.
The thieves managed to take a truck, connect it to the trailer, and leave the compound all under the nose of a security guard between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. The truck and trailer were found abandoned and empty on 26th Ave. in Surrey at 7 p.m. The booze was supposed to have been delivered to the Alberta Liquor Board in Edmonton, but I guess it was delivered to a set of thirsty drinkers instead.
Funny, it might have been more profitable had they taken the time to read the bills of lading on nearby trailers. Three other trailers parked in the truck compound on Allard Crescent were loaded with liquor worth closer to $800,000, the usual value of a load, said a representative for the trucking company. Let that be a lesson to all you would-be liquor truck theives out there. Take the extra second to shop the nearby trucks as well. That way, you can ensure you are getting the best deal on your five-finger-discounted booze.

I’ll take $200,000 in free booze anyday. Besides, would they have gotten away with $800,000 in booze?
