Tunas Disappear from Store Shelves

In a prank apparently related to the release of the movie, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," thieves removed approximately 570 cans of tuna from a Bradley, Vermont general store on Monday night. In the midst of the bare shelves the store owners found a 3" x 5" index card reading "So long and thanks for all the fish."

According to police, a large number of empty tuna cans were found in a wooded area near the store. A number of leads were being interviewed in connection witih the case, including a group of students from the school's chess club who had made a trip to Manchester to see the film on Saturday. So far there are no suspects in the case.

The movie features singing dolphins who depart the Earth leaving behind an identical message.

Several bags of potato chips were also missing and presumed eaten.
