Cheese heist

Twenty thousand pounds of cheese have been stolen in south-western Wisconsin, police said. The cheese, produced by US Foods, was in a semi-trailer parked at a business in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek when it went missing on Thursday. Police said the driver was transporting the load from Green Bay to the New York City area and unhitched the trailer to run an errand. When he returned, the trailer and $46,000 worth of cheese was gone. It is not the first such heist in a state where sports fans like to wear foam wedges on their heads. A semi-trailer carrying $70,000 worth of cheese was stolen from Germantown, another Milwaukee suburb, in January.
