Police in North Carolina intercepted a truck filled with nearly 18,000 pounds of commercial toilet paper on Wednesday as retailers are battling a global shortage of the paper product due to coronavirus.
The Guilford County Sheriff's Office said that they discovered the stolen goods after realizing that the 53-foot, 18-wheel truck had been reported stolen.
The truck was being used to transport the large supply of commercial toilet paper to a warehouse facility near Interstate 40 in Whitsett, North Carolina.
Photos provided by the sheriff's department show dozens of boxes filled with thousands of stolen rolls.

And this quote ^^^ is probably pretty accurate.
Meanwhile, 2 things crossed my mind -- first, whoever produced this article was inaccurate in the opening sentence; it should have read, "due to human foolishness"; and second, the ol' boy who stole that truck & trailer, and anyone who helped him cook up the idea, oughta spend some time in jail for adding to the inconvenience!
