* Hungry bandits?…

An agricultural trade association for pig farmers is reporting the theft of a large grill embedded into a trailer.

A Facebook post from the Illinois Pork Producers Associated (IPPA) said their grill was stolen from their office at 6411 S. Sixth Street Road in Springfield. IPPA said it was last seen Friday, and the trailer was covered in two black, custom fitting tarps that hide the graphics.

* The pilfered grill…

* The Question: What would you do with a sweet but “hot” grill like that?
