  "account": "British police are on the hunt to recover 70,000 pints of stolen Guinness stout, valued at 115,000 pounds ($155,000), after two trailer trucks were stolen from a depot near Liverpool in northwest England. Det. Sgt. Gary McClatchy emphasized the importance of retrieving the entire stolen inventory, stating, \"We will settle for nothing less than the full recovery of all the items stolen.\" The Guinness was intended for various pubs but was reportedly taken on Monday night by two drivers who parked their trucks in an industrial park in Runcorn and made off with the trailers containing around 800 barrels of stout. The value of the trailers themselves was estimated at 50,000 pounds ($67,000). This incident follows a similar beer theft in the United States, where 34,000 cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon were taken from a Southern California warehouse. The brewery responded to the theft with a cheeky social media post, encouraging the thief to obtain the alcohol legally and offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the suds.",
