“Why steal 100,000 eggs?”
Police are scratching their heads over why thieves would want to steal 100,000 eggs from the back of a trailer in Pennsylvania last week.
Police officer Megan Frazer says she’s baffled.
“In my career, I’ve never heard of a hundred thousand eggs being stolen. This is definitely unique,” she said.
One theory is that the price of eggs in the US is rising after bird flu forced farmers to slaughter millions of chickens a month.
The price of eggs has more than doubled in a little over a year and the Agriculture Department predicts egg prices are going to soar another 20% this year.
Meanwhile police still don’t know what thieves are going to do with 100,000 eggs or where they will resell them.
