ICEBERG WATER STOLEN

Somebody stole 8,000 gallons of iceberg water – equal to roughly 150 55-gallon drums – from a vodka company warehouse in Port Union, Newfoundland. The Iceberg Vodka company, as the name implies, makes vodka from water harvested from icebergs. The company was shocked last Monday morning to discover one of 10 tanks of water in the company’s warehouse had been drained. The thieves took off with enough water to fill a tractor trailer tanker – enough to make about 150,000 bottles of Iceberg vodka. The water was valued between $9,000 and $12,000. Iceberg water is valued for its purity, and harvesting the product is a “dangerous and costly endeavor.” Every year, a crew heads out on a 260-foot boat to track down icebergs of just the right size off Newfoundland’s coast. There’s only a short window in late spring for the iceberg harvest.
* Police believe alcohol was involved.
* Stealing someone’s iceberg water. That’s cold.
* I guess this is what you call “liquid assets”.
* Are police on the case? Water they waiting for?
* Maybe they plan to re-freeze the iceberg and set it free into the ocean.
* Look for a suspect with a sparkling clear swimming pool?
* Well, that’s it. Time to put a lock on the warehouse.
