To Catch a (Barrel/Flowerpot) Thief

By on June 18, 2013in beer stores, breweries

I’d like to see these thieves get busted. Perhaps the power of the interwebs can lend a hand. First offender? An older-looking woman stole potted plants from Lift Bridge Brewery. Buy your own damn plants! This person arrived early in the morning on the 15th with a white GMC/Chevy pick-up. You can check out security video on Lift Bridge’s Facebook page.

Second offender? Sadly no footage, but some jerkwater stole a wine barrel from The Four Firkins. Lame. Below is a photo to give you an idea what that particular barrel looked like. Wouldn’t it be cool to see these items returned to our brewery and beer store friends?
