A Lorain, Ohio, Sunoco is having trouble with a “Reese Cup bandit.”

A repeat thief has stolen $400- to $600-worth of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups from the Sunoco in the past several months, according to Lorain Police.

He returned to the Oberlin Avenue store at 1 a.m. Tuesday and stole an unknown amount of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and a bag of chips.

The clerk working at the Sunoco Tuesday blocked the door but the thief pushed his way past him, police said. The clerk was not injured. Employees of the Sunoco have nicknamed the thief the “Reese Cup bandit.” “He comes in and out before they can call the police,” Sgt. Mark Carpentiere of the Lorain Police told ABCNews.com.

A Sunoco store employee declined to comment to ABCNews.com.

People have been discovering new ways to get high, like the known case of cough syrup used to manufacture meth.

Are you sure about that one? IIRC, people are using codine-containing cough syrups to get high, and using pseudophedrine to make meth.

We were convinced that Hershey is adding something to the batches.

I'm sure they are. They are addictive!

I must disagree. I've been eating Reese's Peanut Butter Cups every day for years now, and never became addicted.

Whatever. I’m sure about grey poupon.
