limeyangler Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 his was on a local news site today Someone in Dryden managed to steal 63-cases of Labatt's beer from a Transport parked at Husky early Wednesday morning. City Police say the driver stopped for a rest and the culprits walked away with 22-hundred dollars worth of beer. The suspects walked the beer roughly 2-kilometres before driving off on a snowmachine. The culprits left behind one case of suds on the trail. Police say entry was gained by cutting the lock. Officers also located a box containing a fax machine, which was reported stolen from a military transport the same night. Anyone with information is asked to contact Dryden Police or Crimestoppers. Someone is gonna be having a very 'merry' xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 That's a lot of "portaging".. hope if it was one person that they had a heart attack later and died from the 240KM of walking. Can't stand a thief.. no matter the bounty.. ..also can't see them carrying that many cases 2km.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limeyangler Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 They actually did a search of a property here and found the beer. But carrying that amount of beer 2 kms is hard to fathom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndySKS Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hold on folks your ready too much modern day stuff into this.This is Dryden......snow machine more than likely means dog sled in their language. 63 cases could be doable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 it musta been a magical site to see. If they each carried 3 cases, that would have been 21 people trudging through the snow loaded with Labatts, followed by a guy with a fax machine.All following a bright star shining in the sky. How Christmasy is that !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 That's like 1500 lbs of beer. I wonder if they show that much dedication at their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 That's like 1500 lbs of beer. I wonder if they show that much dedication at their jobs. Perhaps that is their job Roy. At $25.00 a case, nothing but profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 25 years back,before GPS and satellite tracking, entire trailer loads of smokes and beer would go missing in and around the GTA. There were a number of stores just around the Yonge st. strip that had a line on cheap smokes and beer for their "regulars". Usually became available a couple of weeks after the latest hijacking 63 cases just would not seem to be worth the effort and risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grt1 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 If you read the article it says the fax machine was stolen from a MILITARY truck, obviously the theft of the beer was just to throw the cops off the real target, the fax. it was probably one of our militarys top secret weapons and had great monetary value on the black market, but having just spent 3 days in dryden, waiting out the snow storm courtesy of an alberta clipper, it would have to be a white market.
