An Athens, Georgia Jiffy Lube was robbed of about $7,500 worth of premium motor oil, reports the Athens Banner-Herald.
The product was stolen from a Jiffy Lube at 3745 Atlanta Highway, which was discovered missing on March 8.
Though the oil was taken from a shed behind the store, there were no signs of forced entry. Police spokesman Geoff Gilland said that the detective assigned to the case is currently waiting on security camera footage to get a better idea of what may have happened.
Being motor oil of the Platinum brand, there were 15 boxes stolen, each valued at around $500. Gilland noted that it’s possible the oil was stolen to be resold.
“There is a black market for anything of any value,” the detective on the case reportedly told Gilland.
