A county maintenance garage in Michigan reported that some one stole 200 tons of salt from them this weekend. Apparently, they broke into the facility and stole what amounts to 12 dump truck loads of road salt.

So, my first question is how do you steal 200 tons of road salt without someone noticing it? And, where do you hide 200 tons of road salt? But, probably more to the point, what do you do with 200 tons of road salt?

Maybe there is a black market for road salt. I can hear it now, “Hey Vinnie, I got the stuff. Bring the money to the drop off point and the salt is yours.”

Personally, I suspect that it was a neighboring county that was low of funds for next year so they stole it. What ever the out come, I am sure that it will be interesting.
