A MAN has been charged with stealing a sea container of premium imported beer from an industrial yard in Perth,
Dude drove up in a truck, loaded it and took off. They're saying 1349 "cartons", I don't know what a "carton" is, but it's worth $35 grand, Aussie money.
They caught the guy and busted him for pot too, but there is some good news:
Police are still trying to identify the co-offender and locate the missing beer. Suspect is presumed drunk and needing to whiz.
I may have added that last part.

Is it a crime to steal bread to feed your family? What if you have a large family? Is it a crime to steal a sea crate of bread? Obviously, this guy's family preferred beer over bread; is this really a crime?

Veeshir, a carton of beer is a boxed 12 or 24 pack. Based off the cost assumption, I assume 12 pack, which means you're talking about 16,188 bottles.
