The truck, trailer, and three VWs stolen
"
MANTECA (CBS13) – Police say that the whole Tillamook Cheese Tour truck caravan was stolen from the parking lot of a Manteca hotel Saturday morning.
The trailer was parked at the Hampton Inn along Bass Pro Drive in Manteca, Manteca Police say. At some point between 12:30 and 6:30 a.m., police say, thieves took off with the whole caravan of vehicles – which not only includes a pickup truck and a trailer, but three classic Volkswagen Mini Buses.
The VW Mini Buses were in the trailer, which was attached to a Ford F-350, when the theft happened, police say.
Police say that the VW Mini Buses alone are worth about $100,000 each. The buses are used as a part of Tillamook’s promotional tour, each one highlighting the company’s different cheese, yogurt and ice cream products.
It shouldn’t be too hard to spot the vehicles, as all of them are custom-painted orange with the “Tillamook” logo emblazoned on the sides.
Anyone who knows where the vehicles might be is asked to call the Manteca Police Department at (209) 456-8101.
The following is the vehicle’s description, along with their license plate numbers:
-2008 Ford F350, Oregon License plate number Y116821
-Wells Cargo Trailer, Oregon License plate number TF1144
-1964 VW Mini Bus, Oregon License plate number YUM4
-1966 VW Mini Bus, Oregon License plate number YUM5
-1959 VW Mini Bus, Oregon License plate number YUM6

All the more reason for a few public executions right after the six o'clock news

I'm thinking this might be a inside job by a disgruntled employee and/or a insurence scam to get out from under those things
