No Wait. It was The Apple Fairy.
Oh that bad bad Apple Fairy. She needs to be punished.
To: Red Badger
Dam, I can relate to this story but in a small way.
Planted an apple tree for my daughter 5 years ago. Finally the tree produced apples and I was ready to harvest a few days ago.
They were all gone. I figure either the HOA maintenance people took them or a homeless person got them.
But either way, I had planted and watered the tree and didn’t get to harvest the fruit.

My fruit usually gets eaten by birds, squirrels, rats and insects, or all of the above...........

Curious that they give the quantity as 22,000 apples. Also estimated at 7,000 lbs, which would be about nine 18 bushel boxes.
Jonagolds are a pretty high-value variety.

Not too slow at all. Apples have a long shelf life before they even start to go bad. The thieves can take their time selling them in bulk anywhere in the state.........

A few decades ago here in the mountains of NC some people walked through a Christmas tree farm at night with backpack sprayers of paraquat and hosed down acres of trees.
It was suspected to be rival growers but no one was ever charged.

It was a person because their wasn't any fruit on the ground or 1/2 eaten on the tree. The stems were cut with a knife.
Maybe they got a sour stomach?
I really feel sorry for the farming family. Mine issue was a minor annoyance, but someone is messing with their livelihood. I really don't like thieves...

I'm sure you do but you're not going to unload truck loads of apples without giving a full accounting of where they came from. Especially since the outlets you are implying already have contracts with the orchards around the state and the news of the theft have already been broadcast throughout the industry.........

I may already have a contract and my apples are indistinguishable from anybody elses, so my truck would not be out of place at the factory gate.............
