I got this email this morning from the National Coffee Association and
I don't think they'd mind my posting it here.
Just in case someone knows something.
aloha, Cea

What would you bet that there was something in that container besides
coffee?

it's quite possible the thiefs had no idea what was in the container.
istr a rash of truck hijackings a few years back where the thieves
would take the truck, and then abandon it later with the tires
removed. all they wanted was the truck tires.

I just tried some Robusta SO from SM's. I've used it in my espresso blends
but it's been ages (last trip to Italy) since I knowingly tried it by
itself. It had a taste like old tires smell - does that make sense? It also
reminded me of the smell around an old oil well (those who've lived in or
around the 'oil patch' will always remember *that* smell). So I guess that
means I've actually paid money too.

My first thought too. Incredibly difficult to sell even a container load of
stolen green coffee for enough $ to make the theft worthwhile, not to
mention that there aren't a lot of roasters who could use a FCL, and those
that can don't need to buy it "off the back of a truck". I'd guess that the
coffee component of the shipment will end up dumped.
