Man commits murder while sitting on a milkcrate

crate news abounds
There have been quite a few odd follow ups to the crate theft stories. They are all quite strange. It’s not really news that people steal milk crates, so this is what we get. From Iowa – a dairy claims they lose 50% of their crates every year, with losses of $250,000. From New Haven, CT – a very strange rambling story, scroll to the end for a few sentences about a racoon with a milkcrate stuck on it’s head. You don’t know how bad I wish there was a photo for that story. But, why is this news?
