CHICAGO _ A truck filled with Modelo beer that was stolen when the driver left the keys in the ignition has been found in south suburban Calumet City, Ill.
No beer was missing and there were no empties lying around, said Chicago police spokesman Tom Ahern.
Shortly after noon, police found the tractor-trailer abandoned in Calumet City. It hadn't crashed and its contents were "intact," Ahern said.
The thief took off with the truck after its driver left the keys inside at 1655 E. 95th St., a Jewel grocery, about 10 a.m. during a delivery, police said.
"Somebody just hopped into it and drove off," Ahern said.
It was last seen cruising west on 95th Street, and police issued an alert to the near south suburbs to watch out for it.
Police were trying to locate security cameras in the area that might have picked up the theft, but no arrests have been made.
"It was a crime of opportunity," Ahern said.
