There is usually a reason for stealing something. A poor man who's family is starving may steal some food, a greedy man may steel a diamond and hope to fence it for thousands of dollars, a sick man may steal his medication in order to save his life, but then there are thefts that make you say WTF? :waitasec:

Conway Police Department investigators are tracking down leads in the theft of two 53-foot shipping containers belonging to Kimberly Clark, according to Conway Chief of Police A. J. Gary, and it will be very interesting when they get to the bottom of it.
According to a police report, officers were told by a representative of Exel Logistics at 1475 William J. Clark Drive that at some point between 2 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, someone cut a lock and entered the property. The thief or thieves broke into seven trailer containers, removing the seals that secure them in the process, eventually stealing two of them and leaving behind a seal that didnt seem to belong on any of Exels containers.
Inside the containers, according to the report, were 9,064 cases of Kotex- and Poise-brand feminine hygiene products of every description, 152 cases of Huggies Soft Skin baby wash and 380 cases of baby wipes each case containing 10 to 20 individual consumer packages. The total value of the containers and their contents is listed in the report at over $474,000.
Well we can be pretty sure whoever did this isn't going to feed it to his family, at least I hope not!!
Maybe he plans to fence the stuff but what fence would handle a shipping container of tampons? :waitasec:
Perhaps it was stolen, like the medication, for a medical reason but if that's the case somebody really, really, really, I mean really P.O.'d Aunt Flo.
The dumbest thing they could do if they can't find a fence and just want to get rid of it would be to put the containers in a lake. It would be very easy to find once all the water is absorbed out of the lake. :crazy:
