Truck containing 180,000 eggs, missing in Florida!
A truck containing 180,000 eggs was stolen from behind a shop in Florida. The sheriff reported that the blue truck was parked behind the 7Eleven store on Sunday. When the driver checked at 10am the van was there, but when he returned at 11.30 that night, the truck, and it’s contents, were gone!! (From NBC News)
Why do you think someone stole the eggs? What might they want them for? Where might they have taken them?
Write 5 sentences with your ideas!
Perhaps they could make he worlds biggest cake and take it on britains got talent. Or perhaps they wanted to make someone very angry and have a massive egg fight. They could just have a HUGE family and need to feed them. I don’t really know why anyone would want so many eggs. It’s strange.
Well done Jake for being first with an idea! I like the thought of a huge egg fight!!

The robber may have wanted to open their own farm. He drove the truck to his market, which had a yard at the back of the market. He wanted money so he sold hens at the market. To stop from being caught he disguised himself as a farmer. So he never got caught.
1) I think a real farmer took them because a fox ate his own chickens so he had no eggs.
2) I think he may have put them in a incubator.
3) He might have taken them to a boiling hot farm.
4) He might have let year one in Eleanor Palmer borrow them for a couple of weeks to learn about them.
5) I wonder if he was getting them for the other chicks to play with.
1. Maybe they thought it was an eggcellent idea.
2. Maybe they wanted to make the world’s biggest pancake.
3. Maybe there were lots of people who hadn’t had food in their tummies for days and days and they were really hungry.
4. Maybe it was for an art project and children were going to paint pictures on each egg.
5. Maybe the thief organised a huge egg fight.
I think they have taken them so they can have scrambled eggs for breakfast and they are a very large family and very very greedy. Maybe they want to practise for the egg mobile race and have lots of ideas they want to try out. Maybe it’s one of the three little pigs who wants to make a house out of eggs. Or maybe they want to get into the Guiness Book of World Records for the first person to boil 180,000 eggs. But really I haven’t got a clue why, what or where!
Maybe someone wanted to build a chocolate cake house so they would need lots of eggs. They would have to take the van to carry them. When they bake it they would have to put it in the BIGGEST OVEN in the WORLD! Maybe they wanted to set up an egg shop and it would be inside the van. Maybe they were very greedy for money and wanted to get very rich. Maybe someone just wanted to jump on lots of eggs or maybe the eggs were full of chicks and the thief just loved chicks and when they grow into chickens he would give them away to other farms. He only likes them when they are fluffy chicks.
I think they stole the eggs because they wanted to make a big cake. They took the eggs to a secret kitchen where they were making their yummy cake. They shouldn’t have taken the eggs without permission or without paying for it, they should say sorry. They should also share the cake with everyone in the city.
I think a robber stole the truck full of eggs.
The truck was in Florida and the truck had eggs at you eat.
I don’t think that a person with nice clothes would stole it.
I think the people on the news are trying to find it.
The man that earned the truck stayed behind a shop for overnight.
Maybe the eggs were stolen by a robber who took them to a secret den where he lived with his family. I don’t know how he stole the truck without being spotted. He might have used the eggs to make 180,000 cup-cakes. Then he could have taken them back to the 7Eleven store. He probably sold them to the store for lots of money.
Maybe someone wanted to make the biggest omelet in the world. Maybe because someone wanted to have some baby chicks. Or someone wanted to use the eggs to make a really big cake! I would use the eggs for pancakes, i love pancakes with syrup. I hope the eggs were looked after.
I think they were stolen. They are driving round the markets of America selling the eggs. They are probably eating eggs in different forms everyday, like pancakes, cake, omelettes, fried eggs, boiled eggs, poached eggs and scrambled eggs. I don’t think they’ll eat eggs again!
Maybe a zoo keeper stole them for feeding loads of animals for free. Our dogs LOVE eggs and they’re really good for them. In America they eat stacks of thick pancakes for breakfast so maybe someone wanted to start a pancake diner. That could also mean they need even more eggs for other things too like cakes, omelettes or French toast. I hope no one stole them to fire out of a giant egg machine gun a bit like a splurge gun!
