Somebody's having a party.

My husband found several security seals that had been cut off the containers where he works this week. What he didn't realize (he works nights and the loads in the yard are never the same) was that a whole container had been stolen. A 45 foot container that carried a cargo of 2500 CASES of Gray Goose Vodka.

They're checking the Florida yards to see if a container of orange juice is also missing. (not really, I just couldn't resist adding that)

1. Damn!

Well, hopefully they know the container number and the police can hunt it down that way.

4. Oh sure.

All that is taken care of. And yes, that's one hell of an expensive load they took. But it's still a 'what if' scenario that you can get a bunch of laughs out of.

2. Hmm, somebody is probably selling it off the back of a truck.

You can't put that into liquor outlets without the tax stamps, nor can you sell it to bars unless you re-bottle it in bottles with a tax stamp. It isn't worth much without the name (or the bottle.) Seems an awful lot of gyrations to go thru for any sort of bar use.

Look for the guys with a truck parked in the alley.

3. Yeah, it sounds like someone needs a REALLY BIG private stash.
