Zephyrhills, Florida – A trucking company in Pasco County isn’t sure it can recover after vandals stole a truck and 48-foot trailer loaded with 40,000 pounds of beef. Together, the truck and trailer are worth about $20,000. The meat is valued at $206,000.
The Early Green Transport driver picked up the load at Cargill in Kansas and was en route to stops in Orlando, Miami and West Palm Beach.
But he decided to stop at a truck yard in Zephyrhills, and against company policy, left the loaded truck there overnight.
By the time a co-worker arrived the following morning, the trailer had been loaded onto another truck and carted off.
Don Armstrong, the owner of the trucking company, says the load is covered by his insurance, but he still won’t see any money for the hours his driver spent trying to delivering the load.
For the owners of the truck and trailer, it’s a total loss. They don’t have insurance.
If you have any information about the theft, you’re asked to contact the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — A New Zealand brewer is hoping for the safe return of a stolen laptop.
The computer turns out to contain all of Croucher Brewing Company’s financial information, plus its business contacts and the designs for its new beer labels.
The company is offering as a reward, free beer for life. Actually, a dozen bottles of beer a month, for life.
Co-owner Paul Croucher says the offer hasn’t produced the computer, but it has prompted calls from lots of people who say they’re looking for it.
He blames the theft on a flimsy lock and “opportunistic kids.â€
