Coincidence? Chicagoist Thinks Not!

Is someone throwing a big-ass party and not inviting Chicagoist? Because something is up when you have people making off with 350-pounds of porkburgers and hot dogs, and then cap it off with today's news that missing are 100-pounds of Wisconsin cheese, a dozen cases of beer and more than 350-pounds of meat.

People. That's 700-pounds of meat products on the loose in this general vicinity. We have some theories as to the why's and who's of such a caper, of course, but we can't get out of our heads this picture we have of massive piles of meat being grilled up all over the city. 700 POUNDS. We're just baffled.

Was this a football season kick-off prank? Did the Bears lose their contract with their vendors and had to resort to stealing in order to feed the masses for Sunday's game against the Lions? And why would someone steal a hunk of cheese carved into the shape of a wedding bell? And who are the bride and groom requesting such a thing anyway?
