Alcohol-Seeking Thieves Swipe Vanilla Extract

Solution Is 35% Alcohol; Stores Find Empty Bottles In Parking Lot

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. -- Some people are apparently getting too much of a kick out of vanilla.

A number of supermarkets in the Bloomsburg area are taking vanilla extract off their shelves because it is being swiped.

It's not the vanilla the thieves are after, but the alcohol in the extract. Pure vanilla extract, which is used for cooking, must be at least 35 percent alcohol, making it 70-proof, somewhere between schnapps and vodka.

Bill Jones, manager of Boyer's Food Market in Berwick, Pa., said his employees have been finding empty vanilla bottles in the parking lot. Now customers have to ask for the extract at the service desk.

The bottles are small enough to be easily ripped off. Guess that's why. When I was doing the police thing, we went on a domestic call where the guy had drunk all the booze in the house and had started on the colognes. Ugh!
