Condiment Heist
April 12, 2009
On Monday, April 6, 2009, as the Boston Red Sox prepared for their home opener at Fenway Park, they noticed something was missing – Heinz Ketchup. The delivery they expected that morning, 996 bottles, valued at $43,000 had not arrived. When the distributor was notified, the police were brought in and they discovered the truck stashed at a truck stop in Baxter, TN. The driver, Christopher G. Kindle, stated he was disgruntled with the management of the trucking company. In the end, Mother Nature took care of the situation by causing the home opener to be rained out and allowing enough time for the delivery to “catch up”. click here for limerick
