    Chaotic Good: Donate it to food pantries and soup kitchens.

    Chaotic evil: Dump it on the steps of the capitol building and build a giant ground beef Mitch McTurtle.

    What on earth could someone do with 80,000 lbs of beef? You can’t exactly move that kind of volume on the black market. Storing that amount of beef alone would take a massive amount of space and cooling.

        If I ever need to unload 40 tons of illicitly-obtained meat, I’ll be going to you, Mr. Semi.

        Username checks out.

        Also, they may have actually already had a buyer ready… could have even been an inside job…

          “I’m gonna give you a rule of thumb. You foller it and you just might hold on to this ranch of yours. All large-scale crime is an inside job. Takin’ fingerprints and sendin’ trash off to the lab just don’t ger her done. If you’re dealin’ with people, you gotta be human.” Slim Pickins as Henry Beige in Rancho Deluxe

      I saw some video about this kind of stuff. I want to say it was John Oliver.

      Anyway, these shipping companies basically hop on this Craigslist circa 2002 looking website and hire truckers off it. So, they likely did just get the cheapest guy.

    For some reason I just got a flashback to that football kid who tried to steal crab legs by putting them down his pants. I’m just imagining these thieves walking out with 40 tons of beef overflowing from their pants.
