With the American population fighting over a single precious roll of toilet paper amid the coronavirus outbreak, police in North Carolina uncovered nearly 18,000 pounds of commercial bathroom paper products inside a stolen tractor-trailer on Wednesday.

Police said they aren't releasing the name of the driver because the topic of toilet paper is “fairly sensitive right now.”

"After further investigation, it was determined the 53-foot Hyundai dry-van trailer was reported stolen locally and was being utilized to transport nearly 18,000 pounds of commercial bathroom paper products," the Guilford County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.

The industry that is really suffering through this crisis are the burglar industry. Everyone’s home. No work opportunities for the poor guys. No demand for burglar tools these days. They were the first ones to hit the unemployment line.

'Can they get some to L.A. FAST?'

West bound and down, loaded up and flushin',

We're gonna do what they say can't be done.

We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there

I'm west bound, just watch ol' "Charmin" run.

Keep your hand hard on the handle

Son, never mind them brakes.

Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make.

The boys are puckered in Topanga

There's relief north of Atlanta

And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.

Ol' Newsom's got them ears on and he's hot on your trail.

He aint gonna rest 'til you're in jail.

So you got to dodge 'im and you got to duck 'im,

You got to keep that diesel flushin'.

Just put that handle down and give it hell.

If I was in my early 20s there would be a fortune to be made hauling from the south to the northeast.

Being civil sucks.

In Hong Kong a group of armed men (with knives), early in the morning, threatened a grocery store delivery driver and took off with 600 rolls of TP. The police found most of the men and the TP.

What is sad is that this type of crime could get them life in prison.

the topic of toilet paper is “fairly sensitive right now.”

It may be sensitive, even soft, but still "Please don't squeeze the Charmin!"

Doesn’t surprise me. People in Maryland, who are stupid enough to elect the socialist county and state governments that they have elected, are stupid enough to pay $10.00 a roll for toilet paper. What a joke.
