They could have sold it to first graders


KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Robbers hijacked a Malaysian cargo truck but then abandoned it, most likely after discovering it carried boxes of fruit juice instead of a more valuable load, police said Friday.

The four assailants, armed with machetes and axes, forced the truck driver out at a rest stop in central Selangor state Tuesday, said Mohamad Mat Yusop, police chief of Klang district.
Barely 24 hours later, authorities found the vehicle on a roadside with its contents of lychee juice packets worth 82,000 ringgit ($24,000) untouched, Mohamad Mat said.
"We suspect (they hijacked) the wrong trailer because they just abandoned it," Mohamad Mat said. "Normally they look for very expensive items like computer chips or construction materials."
