Trailer Full Of Broccoli Disappears, Kids Rejoice

Someone got way more than the recommended daily serving of vegetables when a refrigerated trailer loaded with more than $50,000 worth of broccoli was stolen.

The 48-foot trailer simply disappeared from its rented parking space in Chicago.

Detective Ed Zorich, who is on the case, said the thief was probably after the trailer, not the vegetables.

"What is someone going to do with that amount of produce?", Zorich said. "On the black market, I can't imagine that's something that's worth money to anybody".

When asked for any update on the investigation, Zorich replied: "We have homicides happening in town. We're not really looking for a truck of broccoli right now."
