A stolen semi containing more than 1,200 cases of liquor was found on the South Side on Monday. The truck was reported stolen around 12:30a.m. on Friday from a National Wine & Spirits in Indiana, according to Sgt. Matthew Mount. Two men allegedly wearing ski masks commandeered the delivery truck by gunpoint after attacking the truck's driver and handcuffing him and throwing him in an empty trailer of a parking lot. After the two men drove off, the driver exited the trailer and called for help. The truck was recovered over three days later at the 12000 block of South Avenue O in Chicago and two men were arrested. It is unknown if the liquor was still in the truck when it was found. Rumors have been circulating that the 1,200+ cases were headed to Chicagoist Editor-in-chief Marcus Gilmer's house for a Halloween party.

I think that rumor is a frame-up perpetuated by Sudo!
That must have been some party.
Swiper, no swiping!
Well, at least Chicagoist editor-in-chief Marcus Gilmer can fence the stolen goods to stave off that whopping property tax bill HE is facing right now.
It's true. The property tax I have to pay on my palatial estate is driving me to steal booze now.
