“I'm sure they look cool with a garage full of PBR,” DeBow said
in a post on TikTok. “That's actually not cool though. We want
it back."
Police in Montclair, California, said the beer was stolen from a
warehouse in two separate incidents on the same day.
In the first heist, about $45,000 worth of beer headed to
Tucson, Arizona, was picked up but never delivered, according to
police. An hour later, a “purported subcontracting company”
submitted fake documents to pick up another $25,000 worth of
beer, Montclair police said. Both thefts occurred on Aug. 17 at
an Anheuser-Busch distribution center about 40 miles (65
kilometers) east of Los Angeles.
All told, the thieves made off with 40,000 pounds of beer, Pabst
said. Police estimated that the stolen beer was worth $70,000.
DeBow said the company wants the beer to be returned by Sept. 9.

The theft was one of several recent high-profile food heists.
Late last year, 40,000 oysters, lobster worth $400,000 and a
cache of crabmeat all were stolen in separate incidents within
weeks of each other in New England.
And in March, Swiss food giant Nestlé said 413,793 KitKat brand
chocolate bars bound for Poland were stolen after leaving its
production site in Italy.
