Duo Accused Of Trying To Steal Restaurant Grease

WESTLAND, Mich., Apr. 8, 2009

(AP) Two Detroit-area men face larceny and trespassing charges after authorities say they tried to steal used restaurant grease. Westland police Sgt. Steve Borisch said 52-year-old Christopher Kind and 44-year-old Richard Tallent were arrested early Tuesday at a restaurant in the city 10 miles west of Detroit.

Borisch said an employee of a business that collects and recycles grease under contract with area restaurants had blocked the two with his truck. He told police 1,000 pounds of grease worth about $160 had been drained from a nearby eatery's grease tank.

The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press said Kind and Tallent are free on bond.

Borisch didn't immediately return a message asking if the suspects had attorneys.

The perps thought they were pretty slick. :-)

Yeah, he might just let it slide this time, but you can't really fault them for trying to bring home the bacon.

I guess they just egged each other on and it went a bit too far.

There was also an episode of Dirty Jobs that had used cooking oil being refined into bio-diesel.

Maybe they were just having a really bad hair day.
