This is so sad. Guess I would look at at place that makes alcoholic apple products. Hot fruit indeed.

And who come from countries where might makes right, and only a fool would NOT steal what’s just left lying around?

They've apparently moved on from cattle mutilations.

DANG!

It was a Mexican Apple Thief!

 

Jake: Why don't you tell me your wildest fantasy?
Elliot: OK, fine. You're a mexican apple thief. I run the cider house. I catch you hiding behind the stone mill. You chase me into the tasting room. Oh, if there's a crow in there: fine. If not.. I can live with it. Anyway, we're all alone and you don't speak a word of english, but you teach me more about hard cider than I ever learned from my fermenting exams and our passion is so loud that they can hear it all the way in the distillery (breaths hard) Oh, ha.. I can be such an apple slut!
Jake: Um.. okay!

These orchard thieves are rotten to the core. They should be sentenced to life without apeel.

A posse should hunt down this band of apple russeters if we're EVER able to stem the tide of such pulpable seediness.

Of course, there's always the possibility it was an incider job !

“There was nothing there,” said Ryan Spicer, the grandson of Alan Spicer, the farm’s founder. We were appleleptic.

Where do you unload 7000 pounds of hot fruit?.......

Well, to start, there's Farmers Market down in Detroit. Then there are hundreds of family owned fruit and vegetable stands scattered all around the suburban areas of metro Detroit.......

Farmers are nearly always armed.
This type of thing is a high-risk proposition.
