Sure you could rob a bank, but you'd come away with nothing but money, and even that could be stained by an exploding dye pack and there'd you be. Pointless, in the end.
A robber in Dublin stole something far more useful for Christmas celebrating ... and something much more tasty than ordinary currency. He drove a truck into the Guinness Brewery, hitched it to a loaded trailer, and calmly departed into the rush hour traffic of Victoria Quay.
Hosting a party at your place? You don't really need piles of cash, but you do need drink, and what the savvy lad made away with could make for a particularly joyous celebration -- 180 kegs of the black stuff and 90 kegs of Carlsberg, along with 180 kegs of Budweiser that I'd dump in the Liffey myself, but to each his own taste. Gardai estimate the total haul at 40,500 pints. Now that's a party I'd like to attend.
Bad news for Guinness, which is running full bore to get enough kegs delivered to the pubs for the busy Christmas season. Gardai are carefully examining CCTV footage in an effort to identify the perpetrator, but so far there's no sign of the brewery's trailer or the missing kegs. They don't expect to recover the beer. This is Ireland, after all. Slainte!
