In the quiet town of Greencastle, Pennsylvania, some unscrupulous individuals decided to make an egg-it with a whopping 100,000 organic eggs, valued at around $40,000, from a distribution trailer belonging to Pete & Gerry’s Organics.
Now, let’s crack this open. In a time when egg prices are soaring higher than a rooster’s morning crow, thanks to an avian flu outbreak that’s led to the culling of millions of hens, these thieves saw an opportunity sunnier than side up.
The national average price for a dozen eggs hit $4.15 in December, and with Easter on the horizon, demand is only going to rise.
How Do You Get Away with 100,000 Eggs?
But here’s the real yolk: stealing 100,000 eggs isn’t exactly a walk in the henhouse. That’s about 8,333 dozen eggs, or enough to make omelets for an entire army. Transporting and storing such a massive haul without attracting attention? These bandits must have been pretty eggs-perienced.
Authorities are now on the hunt, hoping to poach these culprits before they can whisk away any further. But as of now, the case remains unsolved, leaving the community shell-shocked and wondering who could have committed such a fowl act.
So the next time you sit down for a tapsilog, take a moment to appreciate that golden, runny itlog on top—because somewhere in Pennsylvania, a gang of egg bandits is out there, probably plotting their next breakfast crime spree.
Imagine waking up, craving a silog meal, only to realize your eggs have been whisked away faster than your Tita’s chismis at a family reunion. This isn’t just a heist—it’s a culinary crisis. And if these crooks start eyeing longganisa shipments next, we might just have to call in the barangay tanods for backup.
