Man Steals $75,000 Worth Of Campbell’s Soup Soup

Man Steals $75,000 Worth Of Campbell’s Soup Soup is good food, according to the old Campbell’s Soup advertising campaign — so $75,000 worth of soup must be really good food. Eusebio Diaz Acosta was arrested and charged with stealing a tractor trailer loaded with brothy goodnessbound for a Publix grocery store from a truck stop in Central Florida. The police were able to track the truck and its Mm! Mm! Good cargo via the truck’s GPS system, and pulled over the stolen rig on the Florida Turnpike. That’s when Acosta, 51, was arrested and charged with two counts of grand theft — one each for the tractor trailer and the cargo, according to the Sun Sentinel. It’s unclear whether the suspect knew that the truck’s cargo was soup.

This is the second large-scale food-related heist in the news lately. Recently someone in Germany stole 5.5 tons of chocolate-hazelnut spread from a parked trailer. While soup may be good food, Nutella is better, in NewsFeed’s opinion.
