PBR promises thieves who return 40,000 pounds of stolen beer by next Tuesday ‘no questions asked.’ That won’t stop California prosecutors

Pabst Blue Ribbon is offering a reward for the return of 40,000 pounds of stolen beer by next Tuesday, but even with the promise of “no questions asked,” California prosecutors are not backing down. The company posted on Instagram that 4,496.33 gallons of beer were stolen from a distribution center in Montclair, Calif., and gave thieves 18 days and 44 minutes to return the cargo.

This isn’t the first time such thefts have occurred, and Montclair police have clarified that the theft involved fraudulent documentation rather than actual truck theft. However, the company's reward offer has no legal power to prevent prosecutors from filing charges.
