This Day in History, 1923: Thirsty thieves siphon 100 barrels of whiskey through a tunnel

49% Informative
A band of liquor thieves siphoned more than 100 barrels of whiskey valued at upwards of $ 145,000 .
Thieves dug a tunnel 150 feet long and three feet wide from a cellar of a house to the warehouse of the Stewart Distilling Company’s plant in Highlandtown (near Baltimore , Maryland ) They then attached a 200-foot long long hose to the whiskey barrels and siphoned their contents.
According to the online CPI inflation calculator, that would be the equivalent of $ 2,676,182 in 2025 .
The paper had been running a series featuring a bootlegger named “ Bunny ” who gave readers a behind-the-scenes look at the illicit alcohol trade. Bunny had speculated the whiskey would be cut with water or alcohol to increase profits. It was. Newspapers reports of the theft from the Stewart’s Distilling warehouses appeared to inspire another gang. Shortly after the siphoning/tunnelling story emerged, some crooks broke into a warehouse through the roof and stole another 21 cases of whiskey..
