20ft Tall Moosehead Bottle Stolen by Spring Breakers

Spring Break pranksters make off with 20-foot inflatable beer bottle

The beer bottle bandits waited until 5 a.m., after all the cooks and waitresses had gone home and the managers had locked up.

Then they ducked under a rope fence, pulled the plug on the motor and slashed several of the cords supporting the 20-foot inflatable beer bottle.

“The engine is fairly big 40 or 50 pounds,” said cook Luis Wicho Rodriguez. ” Then two or three had to get the bottle itself. “All that was left the next day was an extension cord and tracks in the sand leading to a nearby beach approach. The Spring Break burglars even slipped past the Ocean Deck’s security cameras without being detected.

“Some drunk spring breakers did it,” employee Brady Carter surmised. “But that was a pretty nice heist.”

It turns out that the mammoth bottle of suds is worth about $5,000, which would be considered grand theft, a felony.

The makers of Moosehead beer want it back. They are offering a case a week of Moosehead light for one year to the person who brings the bottle back to its home at the Ocean Deck.

“It will probably end up at some frat party in Tallahassee,” said Capt. Scott Petersohn, spokesman for the Volusia County Beach Patrol.
