I'm honestly wondering if it was a hired job from a local factory, or maybe even a large producer.

There's just no way. There are obviously channels to sell farm products in large quantities but you'd need an established relationship to not trip every red flag in sight.

That's what I thought. But maybe there are places where you can just pull up with a truckload of really cheap eggs, stick a sign on the side of the road that says "Farm Fresh Eggs" and be out of there before anyone thinks to ask where you go them.

But if places like that exist, they still seem kinda risky when there is a recent "100K eggs stolen" headline. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Right, like that'll work for moving maybe a couple hundred, but not on the scale of 100,000.
