Thieves poached about 100,000 eggs from the back of a distribution trailer, authorities in Pennsylvania said.
The theft occurred around 8:40 p.m. Saturday at Pete and Gerry’s Organics LLC in Greencastle. The eggs are worth about $40,000.
State police did not have additional details Tuesday and said the incident was under investigation.
The newest Black Market: Eggs.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see how they plan to sell them.
DeleteThe Amish Powerball is now up to 400 dozen eggs.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in basic training and doing morning mess hall duty, my job was to crack 400 dozen eggs into a mega gallon pot. The pot was about full when I lost my grip on the egg shell and in it went. I tried to retrieve it but no luck. Yuck on my arm and yuck to the guys that had egg shells in their eggs.
DeleteLOL @ Bilbo!
ReplyDeleteDon't encourage him!
DeleteI had heard about Black Market Eggs recently and locally, but, it is a bit Amusing, No? In some places they're up to $13 a Dozen and some Grocers locally are completely out. Might be time for Raising a few Chickens.
ReplyDeleteIt's been so long since I've bought eggs I couldn't tell you what the regular price even is!
DeleteWill the thieves sell them, or let them go bad and throw them at people they don't like?
ReplyDeleteSell half, throw half.
DeleteIs that just a yolk ?
ReplyDeleteDid you hear about the yolk that would greet other yolks by saying, Yello!
DeleteIs that just a yolk ?
ReplyDeleteYello!
DeleteThis would be a good plot for a hardboiled detective story.
ReplyDeleteWait 5 days and follow the smell.
DeleteThat's hysterical. And not just any eggs but organic. I've not been able to purchase organic since first of the year. The thieves have good taste.
ReplyDeleteI think their taste buds will rebel after a few days.
DeleteThose are some careful thieves. I would worry about breakage.
ReplyDeleteOr smellage after 5 days.
DeleteI cannot tell if this is true. It's believable, but you're the one sharing it. ? Cheers.
ReplyDeleteI know. This could be on Saturday jokes. But it's from a real news story. So if you believe the news these days...
