That is pure theft, taking a few cans back is one thing. But 80.000 suppose there were 1000 locals that is still 80 cans a person. I wonder though if they count broken cans, to the missing. I have no problem with taking a few cans back but it really looks like that some locals took far more then just a few. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cnx355 Posted January 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2019 Anyway ! Those beer cans would have to be officially <destroyed> , so people that cleared the road might as well keep them to thanks them for their labor. More safe and efficient that waiting and do nothing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairieboy Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) 80,000 cans is about 26 tonnes - how big was the truck? Was it overloaded? Was it top heavy? Did the driver fall asleep or did the brakes fail? So many questions! 80,000 is only the ones that "vanished" how many others were left behind on the road making my 26 tonne estimate very conservative.

Humpy Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 If I drop my wallet and somebody runs off with it and I call the police they will apprehend the thief . What is the difference here with these thieves running off with Leo Company property ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
