Truck loaded with nearly 2,000 cases of wine stolen from Fort Myers truck stop

A tractor-trailer loaded with nearly 2,000 cases of wine was reported stolen Monday from a truck stop in Fort Myers.
Lee County deputy Mark Bonora reported the driver, Luis Ramirez, was working for Arch Express trucking company in Miami Springs. He made a stop at the Pilot Truck Stop on Plaza Drive, and went inside for little more than three hours between 2 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. When he returned, his truck — containing more than $100,000 worth of wine — was gone.

Ramirez said the truck wasn’t locked because the locks weren’t operable, and was not equipped with a security system.

He said he was not sure of his exact destination, and it’s not clear what type of wine was in the cargo hold.

The truck is described as a blue 2000 Kenworth with “Made in Dade” painted on both doors. It’s registered with an unknown temporary tag, but the trailer hitched to the back displayed Florida tag 8448CC.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 477-1200.

"Locks weren't operable"? Doesn't sound like a whole lot on that truck was operable.

What is there to do inside a Pilot for three hours anyway? Sound's like a setup to me.

3 hours inside a Pilot, inoperable locks on the truck, temp tags on the trailer, driver unsure of where he is going. Hmm... Either an insurance fraud setup, or the driver is trying to CHA before a major crime-ring busting investigation collapses on his butt like a ton of bricks.
