Broccoli-Jacking In Illinois!
Police in Villa Park, Illinois are baffled by the hijacking of a tractor trailer loaded with more than $50,000 worth of fresh broccoli.
VILLA PARK, Ill. - Someone got way more than the recommended daily serving of vegetables when a refrigerated trailer loaded with $50,000 worth of broccoli was stolen.
The 48-foot trailer disappeared from its rented parking space in the Chicago suburb of Villa Park sometime between Sunday and Tuesday morning, police said.
Detective Ed Zorich said the thief was probably after the trailer, not the vegetables.
We hate to tell the detective that he's completely, utterly and foolishly wrong about this, but since we aren't planning on driving through Villa Park anytime soon, we figure we're safe to criticize him without fear of a ticket. But we here at Blue Crab Boulevard have the real scoop. As usual - sorry, our modesty got the better of us there. Our sources in Villa Park put down their cocktails long enough to let us know that there is a very, very active mob presence in Villa Park. That's right, it was the vegan mafia that pulled off the broccoli-jacking. You heard it here first.

Perhaps a hijacked shipment to feed the flora-eating agents of the nefarious animal uprising? Just thinking tactically here…
