Thieves Steal 21 Tons Of Mustard And Ketchup

STOCKERAU, Austria -- Austrian police say thieves have made off with an unusual heist – 21 tons of mustard and ketchup.

The loot was in a semitrailer parked in a lot over the weekend northwest of Vienna. Police say the truck driver showed up Monday to deliver his cargo only to see the trailer missing.

Police assume the thieves were more interested in the trailer than its contents.

Authorities had no price tag for the stolen condiments but said the trailer was worth about 15,000 euros – more than $22,000.

I heard that while they were unloading all that ketchup, the cops caught them red-handed.---Ty Treadwell, author of Last Suppers: Famous Final Meals from Death Row

I'm picturing Adam Richmond trying to secretly build the Worlds Largest Hamburger.
