Stolen Train Set - Good News

If the thief had half a brain he would've waited at least a few weeks and changed his location 

It is always nice to see the "good guys" win one once in a while. I hope the detective did more than to return the set.

Well most thieves do not have one

 

As far as I know they are

It would've been really nice if the detective had brought one of the thief's hands in addition to the stolen train set.

It's like Forrest Gump said " Stupid is as stupid does"

Okay, I deduce that a "Mexican Coke" is una cervesa, though I've never heard the

term before. Seems like that would be more of a "German Coke".

Hi Chris, this is very good news and good for the person who spotted the set on the net. I know blessings will come to them for being so diligent and caring.

 

As for the low down, no good piece of human waste that took anothers livelihood that did not belong to them all I can say is that you may think your getting over in life, but your not.

 

Remember that the universe is on a curve so what goes around comes around.

I think he was referring to Mexican Coca-Cola.  It is growing in popularity in the U.S. so much that there is even a web site devoted to helping people find it.

 

The reason it is so popular is that it is made with sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup as the sweetener, so it tastes much better (and more like original Coke, before the New Coke fiasco/trick).  Plus, it comes in the old-fashioned style glass Coke bottles.  I buy it for myself as a treat every now and again (I'm lucky enough to be able to get it at my local grocery store in the ethnic foods aisle).

You can also get it in 2 Liter bottles around passover as "Kosher Coke". You can ID this by the yellow cap. Mexican Coke may or may not be made with real sugar. The Kosher stuff is guaranteed.

Mexican coke is just that, Coke from Mexico. Like Andy said it has sugar instead of corn syrup. I recently lost a bet for one with the same OGR forum member who found the engine on eBay so I know he drinks it They also have Mexican Sprite and Fanta now in the stores. Good stuff. As for Kosher Coke haven't had any luck finding it in Utah.

Ah a real coke made with sugar and caramel not corn syrup and ginger.
The only people coke fooled with that New Coke trick was themselves .

David

 

This is just my personal theory, but I think that the whole New Coke deal was just a marketing ploy to cover up the switch from sugar to corn syrup in the "Classic" Coke.  The New Coke was so awful that when they "brought back" "Classic" Coke (with corn syrup now in place of the sugar), people had been distanced enough from the Coke made with sugar that they didn't notice the difference.

 

The nice thing about the Mexican Coke is that it is available year round, where I think the Kosher Coke is only available during the Passover season.  Personally, I've never seen the Kosher Coke in stores in my area, which is funny, since there is a large Kosher section in the same grocery store where I get my Mexican Coke, Sprite, Fanta and some native Mexican brands like Jarritos.  All of it tastes so good that I rarely drink any sodas with corn syrup any more.  It kind of gives me the same warm fuzzy feeling that running trains gives me, only with more calories.

I had my first experience with Mexican Coke at a cigar bar. Went great with the cigar. I have since found it at the local Home Depot.

The Mexican Sprite comes in a pretty cool bottle:

Andy,
I guess that tells you how old I am.
That was the same bottle it was in when I was a kid.  15 cents if you drank it at the store 25 cents if you took it with you.
No tax Virginia tax didn't start till you got to 26 cents.
And the drinks weren't luke warm they were cold enough to burn your teeth.

David

Great ! It would sure be great if we knew who not to buy from on e-bay so we do not support a Thief !

I do not know the eBay account name, but it appears he is not going to be selling anything soon

The Kosher Coca-Cola will be in the aisle with all the other sodas - I've never come across it in the Kosher aisle of stores that carry it.  Look for yellow or white caps with printing on top (OU-P on the yellow caps, CRC-P on the white caps).  The printing designates who certified the Coke as Kosher for Passover.

SSshould change the title to STOLEN  THREAD

 

hopefully he'll be making license plates instead of selling anything.

Is there a Mexican Coke Thread for the KIDS to post to???

Good 2 know! Thanks 4 the tip!

BTW does it mater know since coke is changing the carmel formula becasue it causes "cancer" in CA? [you need to drink 100 cans/DAY for years to be at risk!]

The carmel formula causes cancer????
Well don't throw it out because tomorrow it'll be good for you

David

Wonder if Mexican Coke is hauled by the Ice Cold Express?

I have a "Coke Express" hopper...  

 

No need to be sorry.  Chris is the one who brought it up in the original message, so let's blame him...

 

Andy

 

Hopefully the theif was a druggie so now the police have put his sorry a in jail and suffering withdrawals.

Kinda surprising to me, the thief was described as about 50 years old and was working with a 2nd person about the same age

Worst part is the 2 older thiefs had a approx. 12 yr old boy with them.  Way to teach him the ways of the world and be a role model!

 

Caught the bums and the property returned.

Good for all the good guys!!!!!

This is great news and I want to give a big shout out to all the people who assisted in recovering this set. I shake my head everyday at these types of stories and say to myself that some day there will be a judgement day for all!
