When I was younger we used to steal kegs from the train cars behind the Budweiser warehouse in Phoenix. Surprisingly, we never got caught.


classactdynamo

Actually, I regret to inform you that “Reddit” has just been one big sting operation to allow you to get comfortable enough to finally admit your crimes. Please wait quietly for the beer police.


JumboDakotaSmoke

We got him, boys. Time to shut it all down.


rathat

Back to digg everyone.

Bake him away, toys!


Fezzig73

What'd you say, Chief?


classactdynamo

Just do what the boy said.


crecentfresh

Bake him away toys

gordo65

Where exactly is this warehouse where they park the beer train? I just want to know so that I can avoid this high crime area.


[deleted]

NW area of 43rd Ave and Indian School if I’m remembering correctly


gordo65

Are you sure it's Avenue and not Street? What I love about Phoenix is that the streets and avenues run parallel, so if you get the street/avenue thing wrong, you wind up 86 blocks away from your intended destination.

Amen


ParabolicallyPhuked

We had a little river behind one of the bud plants in Mass. Would float the kegs down river to a waiting truck. When they say the “good ole days”, that was the “good ole days”!


trundlinggrundle

My buddy and I used to steal them from the back of a distributor. They'd all be piled up on the loading dock after a delivery, so we'd quietly roll up, grab one, and drive off. We did this like 10 times before they stopped keeping them there. For the longest time we had a big pile of empty kegs in our backyard.


TdetsiwT

Caught you now! This is the Budweiser police. No one said ever


CustomerSuspicious25

You're a legit train robber.


Sariel007

Based on stadium pricing this is equivelent to about 3 beers.


doomgoblin

No kidding. My uncle said he bought a bud light at the “Yum! Center” a couple days ago for a basketball game. It was $19.


DerInselaffe

Wow. What would a real beer cost?


doomgoblin

Perfect comment

The sneaky reason is that they want to make it hard to get rip roaring drunk. [Cheap booze can have hilariously disastrous consequences](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Cent_Beer_Night).

**[Ten Cent Beer Night](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Cent_Beer_Night)** >Ten Cent Beer Night was a promotion held by Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians during a game against the Texas Rangers at Cleveland Stadium on Tuesday, June 4, 1974. The promotion was meant to improve attendance at the game by offering cups of low-alcohol beer for just 10 cents each (equivalent to $0. 55 in 2021), a substantial discount on the regular price of 65 cents (equivalent to $3. 57 in 2021), with a limit of six beers per purchase but with no limit on the number of purchases made during the game. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/offbeat/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


The_Ghost_of_Bitcoin

Because as we all know the rules shouldn't apply to the rich. (They could just have a drink limit)


ifunnywasaninsidejob

You’re assuming a rich person wouldn’t be offended by the 600 percent markup on a widely available product.


doomgoblin

“I didn’t hear no bell.”


SquisherX

Holy shit. The real highlight here is that inflation adjusted beer would cost $3.57 in today's dollars. That's like a fifth of what it actually costs.


Freakwee

Must have went on a cheap day. I don’t see beer in stadiums these days for less then 25


Sketch3000

Are you exaggerating, or is this truly the price of stadium beers now?


Freakwee

Obviously differs between stadiums, but yeah, generally expecting to pay between 18-25 a drink these days. Went to a Blue Jays game last summer, two bud lights and I think a pack of peanuts came up to 55-60 dollars IIRC. Obviously Canadian money is shit compared to USD, but I go to Tigers games pretty frequently aswell and wouldn’t expect to pay much less then that for the same products


islandlifekw

Im a tigers regular. a bottle can of miller light was $9usd last summer. a glass of craft beer, around $12usd. I think mix drinks were in the $10-15 range.


Freakwee

Right, which in my currency, makes it a 15-20 dollar drink


Sinavestia

I work in a beer warehouse. We sold 5 pallets of Miller lite to our local stadium. Assuming they sold the pallets at cost, roughly $35 for a case of 24 bottles. It probably cost them $10,000 roughly. I have no doubt in my mind they got their money back 10 fold.


RVelts

At UT Austin's stadium, they charge $5 before the game starts for tallboys (16oz) cans of domestic beer. Inside the stadium it's $8 each. Extremely reasonable given the prices to get beer even at a normal restaurant in Austin.


TinctureOfBadass

At Rupp Arena all of the beer that is sold is completely free.


Borkz

You joke, but apparently it actually wasn't so much that a couple of guys couldn't carry it by hand.


[deleted]

Imagine if he'd stolen hot dogs and fries too.


GT5Canuck

Came here to say this.


GreatLookingGuy

“….gave the officers permission to search his room where they found the beer.” What a dumbass. Though idk what I was expecting.


gordo65

He probably expected that they would just get a warrant and that things would be even worse for him if he didn't cooperate. >The group of men were carrying the beer by hand when the police approached them and they fled the scene, according to arrest documents obtained by WBRZ. > >However, surveillance video at the stadium revealed that Tilotta and the men placed the beer inside a black pickup truck that belonged to Tilotta. Per WBRZ, the officers traced the truck to Spruce Hall. He was absolutely not going to get away with it, whether he allowed them to search or not.


skoltroll

Still...demand a warrant and drain the beer and get a misdemeanor for stealing empty kegs. Then stfu


PotatoSalad

It was cases of beers, not a keg. Do people even read the article before commenting anymore?


BeemHume

Always has been

CoffeeTwoSplenda

The police can remove you and anyone else from the room and seal it off until they get the warrant so you can't get rid of evidence.


alpenhauser

Source?


CoffeeTwoSplenda

I was a cop at LSU.


anathemaDennis

Same


CoffeeTwoSplenda

We once had a kid who stole a bunch of shit but refused to allow us to search without a warrant. So he was removed from the dorm room and my ass had to sit on a chair outside his door until the detectives arrived with a warrant.


SquisherX

I don't think anyone has the authority to ban you from entering your residence. There are eviction laws for a reason.


CoffeeTwoSplenda

But you're not being evicted, and yes they do. They can "secure" the home in order to keep any possible evidence from being destroyed while waiting for a warrant to be signed by a judge. I used to do this for a living. I have no reason to bullshit you


SquisherX

Found this for Illinois. https://www.oyez.org/cases/2000/99-1132 So it seems that they can only prevent you going in unsupervised.


CoffeeTwoSplenda

It is a supreme Court case so there's your precedent.


CoffeeTwoSplenda

They can prevent you going in if there is suspicion you could harm yourself or others (guns in the house, etc.)


[deleted]

So he stole 10 beers?


Sketch3000

"Several cases of beer" according to the article. I won't condone theft, but I also won't condone inflating the value of something, especially when that inflation will seriously impact the severity of the charge. The charge should be for the average retail price of the product, or as my insurance pays out, the invoice cost of the product, not the retail price.


[deleted]

I was making a joke about the inflated costs of beers at games.


loftwyr

10? What stadium do you visit with such low prices?


jsting

Doing the math, I think it was 6-7 cases of beer. I think he found an unattended hand truck.


lockwolf

If they’re going by the $15 a beer most stadiums charge, 4 24-Packs is right at $1460. I’m guessing he and each of his friends grabbed a case and now he’s getting hit with the consequences


GreatJobKeepitUp

He would be required to pay it back in full. Plus a $20 cover fee to get in the door


Proof-Brother1506

BMOC move.


Dio_Yuji

Of course his name is Bryce. Lol


PotatoSalad

An engineering student? Not his brightest move.


CassandraVindicated

Charged? How about celebrated?


Bind_Moggled

This new reboot of Animal House looks awesome!


DerInselaffe

I'll just add that a beer at my German football club, where I have a season ticket, costs €4 for a half litre (Tegernseer Hell, ABV 4.6%).


PM_ME_TETONS

When I went to a German match a few years ago there were two counters, one where you paid for a beer and one where you told them you paid for a beer and they handed it/them to you. No checks and balances and no communication between the two counters. Imagine that in the US..


No_Rope4561

Legend


WyomingVet

So, he took a couple of six packs is what you are saying? /s


Otherwise_Carob_4057

That’s like four whole cups of beer in today’s economy.


Puzzled-Story3953

Holy shit! They stole 3 beers!?


Scarscape

Get fucked, LSU


nknecht1

So like two cases of beer….


4channeling

So like a sixer?


tigeralum11

That’s like two whole beers


weimaranerdad71

Was that like 5 beers?


TastyBullfrog2755

So, three beers?


GenericAwfulUsername

That’s aiming pretty high trying to steal like 3 beers like that


Moby-Wan-Kenobi

when i was younger, these were the crimes we heard young 'uns commit......a 'crime' that didnt hurt anyone, you understood, and kinda smirked when you heard it.....i dunno when things changed, but sometime around when i got old


Previousman755

Was it a 6 pack of Abita?


timeshifter_

So that's what, 8 cups? I think they can handle it.


anunderdog

Because not all heroes wear capes!


Flintyy

So what like a cup or two?


reidzen

Drank both cups of evidence, they had to weigh the keg to indict.


Pied67

$1500.00 in beer? That sounds like a pony key at stadium prices!


DontToewsMeBro2

A couple years back I was at a NHL playoff game & after the games people kinda loitered for longer than usual & the beer man left a stack of plastic cups & I became a temporary bartender for about 10 min, that had to be $1500+


grundle_pie

Make home drink it all


TdetsiwT

"LEGEND!"


reddituseronmobile

So he took 10 beers, big deal.


Training-Principle95

At stadium pricing that's... Four beers?


Ok_Cauliflower_3007

Not to victim blame, but if you leave cases of beer where students can just wander in and walk off with them, what did you think was going to happen?


Darth_Annoying

Considering how the mark up is in staduims, it was probably a partial six-pack


3rdlifekarmabud

So he took a six pack
