Michigan City, IN (AHN) -- Authorities in Indiana reported that a semi-trailer loaded with more than 20 tons of Hershey's chocolate had suddenly disappeared. The vehicle disappeared 24 hours after driver Daryl Rey parked it at the Gas City truck stop, after picking up the haul near St. Louis. He discovered that the 53-foot trailer, and all the chocolate, were gone when he returned the next morning. A satellite device used to locate the truck had also been removed from the vehicle, and thrown into a pond, hinting that professionals had been involved in the theft. "There's so many dishonest people in the world," commented Rey, 53. "It never used to be like this." Officials from the LaPorte County Police Chief of Detectives were on the case, and officer John Boyd was puzzled as to what the thieves were thinking of doing with all the chocolate, which amounted to 41,000 pounds. "I don't have any idea," Boyd said, as quoted by the Post-Tribune. According to the UPI, police surmised that the thieves stole the vehicle not knowing what was actually loaded on it, as the trailer did not bear the name of the chocolate, but the name of the trucking company, Buske Lines. There was speculation of the thieves planning to sell the vehicle to be sold for scrap, or used for personal means. Patricia, Rey's wife, said that while her husband was not hurt, he was utterly depressed. "He's really bummed out," she said.
