(AP) – Somebody is a few thousand limes away from one big party. Police in central Pennsylvania are searching for a missing beer trailer loaded with about 1,800 cases of Corona. Carlisle police say the trailer was stolen from a distributor sometime between Friday and yesterday. Perhaps not coincidentally, Saturday marked Cinco de Mayo—a celebration of a famous Mexican battle that is also an excuse for parties throughout the US.
