Kitchen Grease the Latest Commodity for Thieves

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram says kitchen grease recycling companies are finding some intense competition, from thieves. An estimated 20 percent of used cooking oil is stolen each year. Thieves can make off with $500 worth of used oil in about five minutes after cutting the locks off of grease tanks. The thefts are being fueled by the increased demand for biodiesel.
