A Virginia winemaker awoke earlier this week to a very unpleasant surprise: Virtually all of the grapes in his vineyard had been stolen overnight. David Dunkenberger lost around 2.5 tons of grapes in the unusual robbery.
Dunkenberger said it only took him a minute to realize his vineyard was nearly picked clean, which appeared to have happened between the hours of 5 p.m. Monday and 7 a.m.
Tuesday.
It takes six to eight people about six hours to pick through one variety of grapes, and six varieties were stolen that night.

Dunkenberger works a separate full-time job to allow him to keep the vineyard, which he is unsure he'll be able to do anymore.
