Semi-trailers stolen from Ottumwa JBS

Very interesting here… the logistics to pull this off are pretty impressive. Without having prior knowledge - I don’t know how it could be done.

Inside Job?

Not enough details, I’ll wait for the Netflix documentare.

Hot meat!

Definitely well coordinated as the product was removed from all trailers by the time the police found them. I'll say inside job as someone would have had to let the trucks in to pick up the trailers and potentially the BOL.

Must be where the guy who comes around selling meat from the trunk of his car gets it.

If they were smarter thieves, they would have taken trailers with beef in them. 5x the price.

I’d for sure watch it.

100k of pork. Let’s say 2.50/pound average. That is 40k pounds. On three trailers would be 13,300 pounds each. Definitely didn’t take the bacon trailers.

Similar thefts have been going on in CA for the past 5 years.

Obviously people with prior knowledge had to pull this off by using a stolen semi to steal three trailers, having the people and equipment to transfer the contents to other vehicles, and have a distribution network to dispose of that quantity of meat. The "inside participation" percentage could run from 100% (the company really didn't load the three trailers with meat but just set up a scenario for a false insurance claim) to 1% (a former employee, in exchange for drugs, provided the key information elements to drug dealers who had the necessary contacts and resources to pull this off) and any percentage in between.

I wish i could say this is surprising. have you seen meat prices lately?

 

[enisthemenace]

Sounds like a scene out of Goodfellas. Just wait for a bunch of new cars and ladies wearing furs running around Ottumwa.

It’s at Arbys, you know, they have the meat.

Meat Heist...great band name.

 

[isutrevman]

$100k of meat? So a couple steaks and 4-5 lbs of hamburger?

 

[tim_redd]

Unrelated, but I hear the McRib is coming back soon.

 

[cycloneted]

I'll tell you who would steal this meat



That damn sasquatch.

Meat Heist...great band name.

Last week, my wife had to run an errand in the morning, and she texted me to say she was going to stop at McDonald's for breakfast, and asked if I wanted anything. I don't get to have McDonald's breakfast very often so I was in.

What I intended to text back was "Yes! Sassage McMuffin!" (Sassage instead of sausage because I'm clever like that)

What it autocorrected to was "Yes! Sassafras McMillan!" which left her confused, yet somehow still understanding of my true meaning. We later decided that Sassafras McMillan would make an excellent band name.

Additionally, it would make a perfect code name for me in my role as getaway driver in a highly coordinated meat heist.
