Authorities are investigating two thefts of more than 80,000 pounds of walnuts from Northern California valued at about $300,000.
The Tehama County Sheriff's Office received a call from a freight brokerage firm on Friday reporting that a 40,000-pound truckload of walnuts never arrived in Miami as they were supposed to.
Authorities believe the culprit is the same person who also picked up another load of walnuts (each load weighing 40,000 pounds) days earlier from Los Molinos. Those walnuts were intended for Texas, but also disappeared.
Deputies tell the Record Searchlight of Redding the man who picked those walnuts up was not the person hired for the job. They have not identified the suspect although they do have a suspect description.
Wish he’d come to my yard last year! That is, if he’d take black walnuts. We had a bumper crop!
Calling all units! Be on the lookout for a shady character offering good deals on bootleg walnuts.
In Northern California, we have some very large, tricky and ambitious grey squirrels.
They would need help from a union thug truckdriver to carry out plans on this level.
The culprit is plotting something even more insideous.
He bit off more than he could chew.

First it’s Canadian Maple Syrup, now its Walnuts. Thank goodness it wasn’t Pecans, or we would be facing PecanPieMageddon.
I refuse to answer any questions
on the grounds that I may incriminate myself.
You're only asking me because I'm a squirrel. You speciesist!!
