27,000 pounds of beef stolen in Lincoln, Nebraska

beefA man in Lincoln, Nebraska has been accused of stealing over 27,000 pounds of rib-eye steaks from Universal Cold Storage, the place where he works. The man allegedly stole the beef over a four-week period while working on the loading docks, then turned around and sold the steaks to friends. I can't even imagine sticking a single steak in my purse, so 27,000 pounds is certainly, well, impressive, I guess.

According to the company, the stolen beef was worth $129,000. Those are some steaks, since that means they were $4.78 a pound!

Prime ribeye can go for up to fifteen dollars per pound.
