Stolen: 21 Tons of Meat!!

There was 21 tons of meat stolen off of a semi truck/trailer. In Marshalltown, IA, more than 42,000 lbs were gone when the truck was stolen last week. The truck belonged to the Mid-Continent Trucking of Denison. They were taking the meat to Indianapolis and the driver left it locked with the AC on, so the person who stole it knew how to get past the lock system. Who needs that much meat? They could go feed the homeless, but I don't think that that was their intention. Because there are easier ways to do that. Maybe they jacked the truck and dumped all the meat out and used it to do something else with. Can't you rent a truck instead of stealing one? The meat was just scraps that they were taking to a plant, so maybe they wanted to make their own sausage or something. I don't know, but I do know that whatever the purpose was, there probably was a better and less costly way to do it!! What do you think?
