Slippery Grease Bandits Make Slick Getaway

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Oklahoma police are looking for grease bandits who made off with 5,000 pounds of used cooking oil and grease from three restaurants.

Police in Edmond, north of Oklahoma City, said on Thursday the grease bandits have hit an area of Mexican, Chinese and steak restaurants over the past three months.

The robbers took the used cooking grease that was stored in large cylinders in back of the restaurants.

The restaurants were planning to sell the grease to a recycling company and the total value of the stolen goods was about $380.

1. Not really

In Hawaii, there's a business that does tours using a watercraft which uses essentially McDonald's runoff.

There is development on vehicles (converted diesel engines) which run on vegetable oil (used!). Wouldn't surprise me if some enterprising individuals read up on that and are hitting the "valuable" grease.
