Pabst Blue Ribbon Wants its Beer Back

Note to self: if stealing beer, move overseas first.

Well, depending on what country one is moving too other beverages aside from beer might be better.  Such as vino in France or Italy.  Or Ouzo in Greece.

True...
I prefer Belgian & loathe British....

[Rev. Powell]

Ooh, I'd rank world beer producers 1. Belgium 2. Britain 3. Germany 4. US... a huge number of crap beers in the US, but also some of the world's best brews.

They found the trailers but the beer is still missing.

Police recovered two stolen trailers about 30 miles from Runcorn, England, but their Guinness cargo remains missing. Investigators now place the haul at approximately 880 barrels worth £115,000, or about $155,000. Lancashire Constabulary located both units around Lathom in Skelmersdale. Cheshire Constabulary has announced no arrests.

Investigators determined someone left the first trailer near Hall Lane around 3:05 a.m. Tuesday. Evidence placed the second near Gillibrands Road at approximately 12:07 p.m. Wednesday. The truck hauling that equipment reportedly pulled out in front of a silver or white Renault Captur. A student driver operated the vehicle with a driving instructor present.

Detectives want to speak with both Renault occupants about the encounter. Officers also seek Skelmersdale residents who noticed suspicious activity around either location. Businesses should report unexpected offers involving bulk Guinness purchases. Authorities believe criminals may try selling the missing beer through the black market.

Detective Sergeant McClatchey welcomed the trailer recovery while stressing that the search continues. "These kegs are stolen goods that are being sold on by black market criminals," McClatchey said. Investigators urged anyone questioning a seller's source to contact authorities. Tipsters can call 101 and reference incident number IML-2408641.
