I understand that times are hard out here and everyone is trying to get some dough, but seriously...
The Associated Press is reporting that Anthony Herbert Lee, 38, of Hammond, was arrested Saturday for trying to sell 26,652 pounds of stolen pizza worth more than $45,000.
A company had contracted with Lee to pick up 3,000 cases of Stouffer's frozen pizzas from Nation Pizza in Schaumburg, Ill., on Aug. 31 and deliver them to Springville, Utah. Lee's refrigerated truck had trouble. Realizing that he would miss the delivery date, Lee decided to broker his own deal to unload the pizzas. He contacted a salvage company, but they became suspicious and contacted authorities. Police set up a sting operation and nabbed Lee, who also was wanted on a 10-year-old larceny warrant. Nestle Corp., Stouffer's parent company, recovered the stolen pies.
I appreciate the hustle as much as the next person, but let's be smart people. He probably could have moved those suckers in the 'hood with no problem. I'm just saying...
