Rainout saved Sox fans from horrible food fate

An Ohio man is charged with absconding with a truckload of ketchup that was meant to go on hamburgers and hot dogs at the Red Sox home opener this past Monday.

The Sidney (Ohio) Daily News pours out the story:

"On Monday I got an e-mail asking where the load was at, and that it was an important," said Kevin Mitchell, manger of the Sidney terminal for Crosby Trucking Services, 3858 Michigan St.

"That's when I was told the ketchup was for the Red Sox home opener."

Police, relishing the idea of capturing a nefarious hamburgler, managed to catch up with Christopher G. Kindle at his heinzout in Jackson Center, OH. The paper reports Kindle was at first sloooow with info on the missing trailer, but that after cops squeezed him, he admitted he'd left the trailer, along with its load of $43,000 worth of ketchup bottles - at a Tennessee truck stop.
