Bizarre Grease Theft
April 7, 2008

Posted by CindyC in : Rants & the Ridiculous , trackback

Last week, a man was arrested by police for stealing 300 pounds of food grease from a Burger King. Apparently when the restaurant manager approached the man, he quickly stopped siphoning the grease and took off. The manager alerted the police who eventually caught up with him.

The man actually works for a grease collection company but has been cleaning out grease tanks of non-customers. The company declines all knowledge of unlawful siphoning. Police speculates the increase demand (and financial reward) for biofuel was the motive behind the theft. The estimated value of the grease was $405 or $1.35 per gallon.

By the way, this happened on April Fool’s Day. I think it’s pretty clear who is the fool in this incident.
