For those who aren't aware....there is this law in Germany that states that freight trucks have to stay off the autobahns from sun-up to sun-down on Sundays. Part of this logic is that heavy traffic occurs on Sunday, and the German authorities believe that having the freight trucks forced into parking lots and rest-stops....prevents more accidents.
Well...I was looking at local Hessen (my state in Germany) news this morning, and they were discussing this robbery that occurred at a rest-stop on the A67 autobahn around Lorsch-Ost.
The driver got up on Monday morning to start his travels with the freight truck, and found the rear door open.
Missing? 13,400 bars of chocolate.
Apparently, in the middle of Sunday evening.....someone cracked the lock on the rear...opened it, and then moved box after box of chocolate.
Going to the middle-man to sell off the chocolate? I just can't imagine some middle-guy looking over this and really offering a lot of return on this. The typical value of one single chocolate bar at a grocery? Around 1.10 to 1.40 Euro per bar. So in rough value....the robber has 15,000 Euro of something to get rid of. A middle-guy (in my humble opinion) probably won't offer more than 500 Euro on this.
Ending up at some no-name grocery? Maybe.
