Thief makes off with truckload of wine

Oh, to have been in the right place at the right time, just once: A driver making a delivery to Cova on Kirby Drive yesterday left the keys in the ignition and about $8,500 worth of vino in the truck. Naturally, when he came back outside, the truck and its cargo were gone.

The driver, from Prestige Wine Cellars, said he was only away from the truck for a few minutes, but that was obviously enough time for some wine connoisseur to pull a fast one. Or maybe it was a lucky delivery truck connoisseur — it's not clear from the report whether the thief knew the truck was full of wine or was just excited about the chance to steal a delivery truck.

Police are still searching for the thief. We hope they're keeping an eye on local cheese shops — hey, that would logically be our next stop if we'd just stolen a shipment of wine.
