What BBN said about it

  1. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterNothing is more drivable than my heart right now, because the WALL STREET JOURNAL has a new wine heist detail and I am SHAKING!

  2. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterAs we told you earlier, masked thieves in Italy took some thirty thousand bottles. The WSJ now says they allegedly used the company's OWN forklifts!

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe WSJ puts the haul at five point six million dollars, including prized reds. I have seen embassies guarded worse than that cellar.

  4. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterThey allegedly BROUGHT NOTHING! Not a crowbar, not a snack! Somebody's forklift got a side hustle and it is the crime of the century!

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBorrowing the victim's equipment. That is not a heist, Rosa, that is an allegedly rude houseguest. No arrests are reported.
