FREDERICTON, New Brunswick -- The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are trying to solve a beer caper that occurred near Canada's border with Maine.

The mounties are searching for 50,000 cans of Moosehead along with the driver of a tractor-trailer that was hauling the brew.

The abandoned truck has been found -- along with two empty beer cans. Otherwise, the only other evidence is that the Moosehead cans are imprinted in Spanish and English. The beer was destined for a Mexican supermarket chain.

Newspaper and broadcast reports say the shipment would be worth more than $75,000 if sold on the retail level.

1. Is this on the same longitude as Roswell?

It could have been aliens.

2. Not even close.

New Brunswick is just northeast of Maine.

4. There goes the alien theory.

Unless they're being really crafty this time.

3. Question is, what's to be mystified about? Someone stole the beer and

transferred it to another truck or trucks. The driver is a suspect, I would think.
