Albuquerque: Flying Burrito Theft Baffles PoliceAlbuquerque: Flying Burrito Theft Baffles Police In a bizarre and baffling incident, Albuquerque police are left scratching their heads after a restaurant reported the theft of a 40-pound burrito. The Flying Burrito, a renowned eatery in the heart of the city, reported the missing mammoth burrito at approximately 11:30 PM on Friday night. According to the restaurant manager, the colossal dish was intended for a large party of hungry patrons. “It was the biggest burrito we’ve ever made,” said a bewildered manager. “We were so proud of it, and now it’s gone.” The burrito, which weighed nearly as much as a small child, was described as being made with an assortment of Tex-Mex favorites, including ground beef, chicken, beans, rice, cheese, and vegetables. It was wrapped in an extra-large flour tortilla and had been placed in the restaurant’s refrigerator for storage. When staff arrived to prepare the burrito for the party, they were greeted with an empty fridge and a lingering aroma of lost hope. “We checked the security cameras, but they didn’t capture the theft,” said the manager. “It’s like the burrito vanished into thin air.” Police were called to investigate and found no signs of forced entry or disturbance at the restaurant. They interviewed employees and reviewed security footage, but the trail went cold. “This is the strangest theft I’ve ever seen,” said Detective Luis Chavez. “A 40-pound burrito doesn’t just walk out the door.” Theories abound as to who or what could be responsible for the burrito’s disappearance. Some speculate that a group of hungry bandits may have broken into the restaurant and made off with the giant meal. Others suggest that a disgruntled customer with an insatiable appetite might have taken the opportunity to indulge. “It’s a mystery that will likely keep us up at night,” said Chavez. “But we won’t rest until we find the whereabouts of this monstrous burrito.” As the investigation continues, the Flying Burrito has doubled its security measures and increased the portion size of their standard burritos. Meanwhile, Albuquerque residents are anxiously awaiting the day when the truth behind the flying burrito theft is finally revealed.
