If you’re at a pawn shop in the middle of the country, and there’s an entire meat department, this might explain it.
A fake trucking company stole 80,000 pounds of beef from a Tennessee meatpacking plant last week. If that sounds like a lot, it is, the authorities say it was worth around $350,000.
The meat was supposed to go out to customers, but the shipping coordinator subcontracted it out to a company called “List Trucking Sales,” which was NOT a legit business, and no one checked out the drivers who picked it up.
It’s unclear what the thieves planned to do with all that meat. They still haven’t been caught, and the meat hasn’t been found.
It seems like there’s a Black Market for everything, and with the price of meat right now, there’s probably a good chance that the meat has already been sold off to someone. (After all, this would be an elaborate scheme to pull off WITHOUT having a plan for the meat ahead of time.)
