The Great Egg Heist
280,000 eggs disappeared from America’s top producer. Then came a ransom note.
“I’d like to report a crime,” said the man who called a Maryland sheriff’s office on April 16. There was a theft, he explained, involving a freight truck.
"So they stole the whole freight?” a dispatcher asked.
“Only took the cargo,” the man answered. It was valued, he said, at about $100,000.
