Summary

Police in Pennsylvania are investigating the theft of 100,000 eggs, worth $40,000, stolen from a Pete & Gerry’s Organics distribution trailer.

The unusual crime, potentially linked to soaring egg prices due to bird flu, has left authorities with no leads. Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and seeking community tips.

Egg prices have surged, with the USDA predicting a further 20% increase this year.

With Easter approaching, concerns over affordability grow.

    Prankster, crackhead, or normal people aren’t making off with ~13,000 lbs of eggs lmfao. This was a professional egg-stealer if I’ve ever seen one. It’s probably sold to people already, I don’t see why you’d steal $40k worth of eggs if you didn’t already have plans for them.

      How many professional egg-stealers have you seen? I’m guessing it must be at least 3.
