Marler Blog - Stolen trailer found in Dallas; meat still missing - Comments http://www.marlerblog.com/ Food Poisoning Lawyer & Attorney : Bill Marler : Marler Clark en Copyright 2012 Wed, 16 May 2012 05:18:40 -0800 Wed, 16 May 2012 05:18:40 -0800 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.32-en http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Amy Derby Good questions. I'd like to add one. Have any of their employees suddenly gone missing? If it's not an inside job, it seems to me very unlikely that a random thief has the intuition to just happen to come across the trailer which just happens to be full of contaminated meat. Coupled with the fact that no random thief would likely go to the trouble of hitching a trailer to a truck (they just happened to bring a truck with them?), I don't see how it could have been anyone but someone who works at AFF (or a close buddy looking to make a buck on the way to the border).

One more question, then I'll resign my rant. If ConAgra can blame their salmonella outbreak on consumer negligence, would American Fresh Foods be able to blame a potential e. coli outbreak on a thief? Or would it be their fault for leaving the contaminated meat vulnerable to being stolen?
