In a Heist of This Professional Magnitude
...I'd blame infamous mob hitman Luca Brassica.
Someone got way more than the recommended daily serving of vegetables when a refrigerated trailer loaded with $50,000 worth of broccoli was stolen.
How do you tell if the police are part of the plot? By their pitiful excuses.
“We have homicides happening in town,” Zorich said. “We’re not really looking for a truck of broccoli right now.”
Sure, pal.

I'd be more than a little curious to hear what the thieves thought they were stealing and what they intended to do with it. What can you do with that much broccoli? Now, if it had been Brussel sprouts...

I think we can safely blame Bush for this one, Rob.
The elder.

I thought they were more into beans.

Good news! The next time I'm visiting, I can use this as an excuse not to eat brocoli: "Hey, there's a shortage since someone stole that truck!"

Why didn't they steal the spinach...?
