A burglar apparently stole a valuable bottle of 30-year-old MacAllan whisky from Beverages and More at 700 El Camino Real on Saturday, Aug. 9, but what he actually got away with was the tall box meant to hold the bottle.
The bottle of whisky, reported by the Menlo Park Police Department to have a value of $1,899.99, was locked away, the store manager told the Almanac.
Menlo Park police added that the burglar broke a display case in the store and “attempted to steal champagne, which was left behind.”
The store manager would not comment on the status of the display case or the champagne and referred the matter to BevMo headquarters, which has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Uh, what, Timmy?
On another note — the burglar in this case sure isn’t Rhodes Scholar material…
He should be nominated for the Darwin Prize
I totally agree this burglar would make a great candidate for the 2015 Darwin Awards. Obviously not the sharpest tool in the tool shed.
What woodwork did he come out from?
Truth Be Told!!!
Yes in fact…He missed the “Stealing Expensive Whiskey for Dummies” Manual
@paf, @gina –
fyi, the Darwin awards are not simply synonymous with a demonstration of a lack of intelligence, though that characteristic certainly improves the probability of receiving the award. The Darwin award is given only posthumously to those individuals who have improved our chances of survival as a species by removing themselves from gene pool in spectacular and uncommon fashion of their own device. The rules also preclude nomination of individuals who do so while including innocent victims in their act.
Since the individual in this case remains alive and thus a candidate to procreate, he is ineligible to be nominated for a Darwin award.
As described by… yes you guessed it “Wikipedia” ;-]

Maybe he’s a whiskey enthusiast and wanted the box for a collage he and his girlfriend are making on whiskeys they would love to sample if only they had the money.
