Pennsylvania's 100,000-Egg Heist Leaves Local Authorities Scrambling To Find Suspects
Thieves cracked into a distribution trailer in central Pennsylvania last Saturday, making off with about 100,000 eggs from Pete & Gerry's Organics in the borough of Greencastle. The poached eggs are reportedly worth about $40,000, the Associated Press reports. Local authorities are on the case, but as hot as egg prices are these days, don't expect catching the culprits to be over easy.
Depending on where you live, that $40,000 valuation may look like it's missing a zero. After all, unless I can no longer do basic math correctly, that works out to $0.40 per egg or 'only' $4.80 a dozen. Also, is it really felony grand larceny if you steal food to feed your bodybuilding family? A family of four could easily go through that many eggs in just a couple of years, and if that sounds like too many eggs to eat per day, ask yourself why you hate gains so much.
Meanwhile, days later, the cops are still scrambling to find the culprits, but so far, they've had a shell of a time locating anything. 'We're relying on leads from people from the community. So we're hoping that somebody knows something, and they'll call us and give us some tips,' a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania State Police told reporters.
You would think it would be difficult to steal some 8,300-ish cartons of eggs without anyone seeing or hearing something, but unfortunately for authorities and the grocery store's insurance company, the eggs seem to have completely vanished without any witnesses. Will they ever crack the case? Did the thieves steal the eggs for themselves, or are they handing them out to the community? And if they are, are they as hot as Disney's Robin Hood is? Because I'm definitely getting Robin Hood vibes from the First Great Pennsylvania Egg Heist of 2025.

Popular rock band's stolen custom guitar has been found, mandolin still missing
Police in New Jersey have recovered one of 'two irreplaceable instruments' that were stolen from rock band Heart. A custom purple sparkle baritone Telecaster guitar, made for guitarist Nancy Wilson, was returned after a woman bought it from the theft suspect, the Associated Press reported. Surveillance video caught the suspect giving the guitar to a woman who put it in her car before parking a few blocks away from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, where it had been stolen on the eve of their May 31. Police identified the vehicle by using automated license plate readers, the AP reported. Officers then tracked its location and contacted the owner, who voluntarily surrendered the instrument. The person she allegedly bought the guitar from has been charged with burglary and theft, the AP reported. Heart's other stolen instrument, a vintage 1966 Gibson EM-50 mandolin played by Paul Moak for more than 25 years, is still missing. 'These instruments are more than just tools of our trade — they're extensions of our musical souls,' Wilson previously said in a statement shared to Instagram. 'The baritone Tele was made uniquely for me, and Paul's mandolin has been with him for decades,' she said. 'We're heartbroken, and we're asking for their safe return — no questions asked. Their value to us is immeasurable.' Heart is offering a reward for information leading to the return of the instrument. Anyone with information is urged to come forward and contact the band's tour manager, Tony Moon, at tonymoon@ Known for hits such as 'Crazy on You,' 'Magic Man,' 'Barracuda,' 'What About Love?,' and 'Alone,' Heart has sold more than 35 million records worldwide and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Heart resumed the band's 'Royal Flush Tour' in February after postponing it last year as Nancy's sister, lead singer Ann Wilson, had to be treated for cancer. The band has shows scheduled through the end of August.

2 killed after train hits SUV in Somerset County
Two women are dead after a CSX train collided with a vehicle at a train crossing in Rockwood Borough, Somerset County on Thursday morning. KDKA-TV spoke with residents in the area who said that the two train crossings in town have been problematic for years and they want something done about it. "I feel sick almost," said Ken Marker, who lives near where the crash happened. "I'm kind of anxious. I don't think it should have happened. It's just a shame." It all happened just before 10:30 a.m. on Thursday. An SUV found itself between the down gates of a railroad crossing on Bridge Street in Rockwood Borough as a CSX train was coming through. According to Pennsylvania State Police, both occupants of the SUV, an 85-year-old woman and a 67-year-old woman, died in the crash, one at the scene and one later pronounced dead at Conemaugh Hospital after being transported. One neighbor KDKA-TV spoke with said that something has to be done with the two train crossings that divide the town because they tie up residents and first responders. "You think something would be done like a bridge or an underpass, something for the safety of the residents in the town, because the train is constant, nonstop," said the neighbor, who wanted to remain anonymous. While it is not exactly known what caused this crash to happen, Pennsylvania State Police are investigating.

CIA releases 1,400 new pages of investigative file into RFK assassination, including chilling note from his killer
The CIA released a new batch of declassified documents related to the government's investigation into the assassination of Robert F, Kennedy on Thursday, which includes a copy of a note that Kennedy's killer, Sirhan Sirhan, wrote. Per President Donald Trump's executive order directing agencies to declassify materials in cases of public interest, including RFK and his brother JFK's assassinations, the CIA released 54 declassified documents, amounting to 1,400 pages. "The records reveal for the first time that Senator Kennedy shared his experiences traveling to the former Soviet Union with CIA, reflecting his patriotic commitment to serving his country," the CIA Director John Ratcliffe said in a statement. Much of the information in the release is not considered particularly revealing, but it does include an incriminating note that Sirhan wrote on May 18, 1968 – less than one month before Sirhan would fatally shoot Kennedy. 'R.F.K. must die, RFK must be killed, Robert F. Kennedy must be assassinated,' Sirhan wrote down over and over again on a piece of notebook paper used during his murder trial. The note appears to have been obtained by the Associated Press and reprinted by the Washington Post, though it is unclear what year that was. Kennedy, the brother of former president John F. Kennedy, was killed while serving as the Democratic senator of New York and campaigning for president. He was departing from the ballroom inside the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968, when 24-year-old Sirhan shot him multiple times. Sirhan admitted to killing Kennedy and said he was motivated by the senator's support of Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War. However, he has also made conflicting statements over the years about the shooting – which has fueled conspiracy theories about the assassination. Ultimately, Sirhan was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to death, although that was commuted to life in prison with the possibility of parole. Sirhan, now 81, has unsuccessfully sought parole at least 17 times over the past 56 years, the most recent being in August 2024. But the handwritten note has been a point of contention over the years as Sirhan's lawyer, Lawrence Teester, has argued his client was hypnotized and framed – pointing to the note as an example of his client's state of mind. Other documents included in Thursday's drop include Sirhan's psychological profile, though heavily redacted. This is a breaking news story, more follows….
