Outfit? What Outfit?

  • A half-million dollars worth of chocolate, liquor, auto parts and concrete garden fountains don’t just fall off a truck.

    But this morning about 9:45 a.m., Chicago police and other investigators served a warrant at a Brighton Park neighorhood [sic] warehouse in the 2600 block of West 35th Street where about $500,000 in such stolen merchandise—and several stolen trucks and a stolen van—were hidden, said Chicago Police News Affairs ...

    Police are still searching for those responsible for the thefts, but have been able to determine the goods found at the warehouse were stolen.

    At the warehouse, organized crime and gang investigations officers, along with Illinois State Police and members of a three-county theft task force found 52 pallets of Ghirardelli chocolate. Investigators also found numerous pallets of alcohol, including beer, rum, vdoka [sic] and wine, worth about $175,000, belonging to the Wirtz Beverage Group, he said.
One of the old Bridgeport crews perhaps? They're still out there.

"They're still out there?" Like they ever left? There's nothing like organized crime hiding in plain view!

Looks like some people are going to be hanging out on the bottom of Lake Michigan soon.

Yes, they are still there but the world has changed.
Anyone shipping anything of importance or value tags it with tracking devices. If it absolutely positively has to make it to it's destination, a team of men will monitor in real time.

The outfit's still in Chicago? Say it isn't so. I thought there is no more Chicago mob. That's what city hall and 35th St say.

I thought the chicago mob went out of business with the retirement of shortshanks and the Daley crime family.

Tony told Meadow on their trip to scope out colleges that there's no such thing as the Mafia.

And I believe him.

2600 W. 35th Street is the location of the old Campbell Soup plant and warehouse. Parts of it still stand. It was a big, big place back in the day. Thousands of jobs all gone to Mexico. Sad.

WRONG.

There's nothing wrong here.

We was just starting to stockpile things for the new Casino that was going to be built.

We only want the best for our customers, so Ghiradelli chocolates at every gaming table would have been a nice little touch. Who don't like chocolates?

The auto parts were going to be part of a big display that was a tribute to the auto industry in Chicago (and Detroit) which we thought would be a good draw for a lot of midwest UAW retirees to come in and spend their money.

We ain't stupid. We know who collect a lot of cash for nothing.

You guys ruined everything. Now what theme are we going to use? Some fag flowers on the table and Perrier water for the customers?

Next, some gaming commission will be requiring we put in a bike path to the Casino as well as some mauve and chartreuse wedding chapel for fags lit by solar panels.

According to our demographic studies, these people are not big gamblers. Why do you people always interfere with good business decisions?

Vito, pass the cannoli and cut all the envelopes by 50%.

Wirtz lost a trailer load of booze last week, I know someone who works there. Pretty quick job, hook up to trailer with a false bill of lading, they load it up andyou go thru gate, go south on Cicero, jump on I-55 North, get off at California, make right turn,then quick left onto 35th st, go down 2 blocks to 2600 west 35th and dump load, 15 mins total time on street. not bad.

The buildings at 2600 w. 35th street where this stuff was recovered is a building that Burke helped get a property tax reduction a few years back, it was in the paper back then.

Police were allowed to shop in the employee store at the Campbell's plant. Cans of soup for a dime, bags of Banquet Fried Chicken, and Campbell's Catsup.

It sure made a difference back in the old days with a young gamily and when overtime was not plentiful like it is now.
