keg-napping!

ChadTower:

Oh man, that's a big problem around here.  Not specifically kegs but anything metal.  People are stealing playground equipment, sewer control pieces, fences, construction site supplies, anything they can make off with.  Last year I was replacing my storm door and had the old aluminum one in my yard while doing the work, intending to make use of the old one elsewhere.  Went to the hardware store and when I returned it was gone.

WaRpEd:
If anyone needs help emptying their keg Iam available on weekends.

that reminds me. i saw somewhere that ---mcdonalds coffee--- heads in (brazil?) are stealing man-hole covers to sell for scrap. at least one person has died from falling down the unexpected hole in the street  :angry:

drunkatuw:
At my local liquor store, deposits on kegs recently jumped from $10 to $30.  I'm guessing this is to discourage people from selling them for scrap metal.

I also heard that beer prices are rising because farmers are devoting more land to corn (for ethanol) instead of barley...kegs for me have been $55 for the last 2 years and this month they jumped to $65.  I think it might be time to start brewing my own beer.
