Two beer heists at California warehouse net $70K in Pabst cans

Thieves stole tens of thousands of Pabst beer cans in two separate heists from a Montclair, California distribution center on 17 August, with police valuing the loss at $70,000. Investigators are determining whether the thefts were part of a single operation. The incident is notable for its scale and the company's social media response, but it is a localized crime with no broader market or geopolitical implications.
