The&nbsp;orange-colored buses, which have the words &#8220;Tillamook&#8221;, &#8220;Medium Cheddar Cheese&#8221;, and &#8220;Baby Loaf&#8221; written&nbsp;on their sides, were stolen about 50 miles away from the storage locker location. Authorities say that the criminals took the three vehicles from the Hampton Inn in Manteca using Tillamook&#8217;s Ford truck, which was connected to a trailer that carried the buses. The truck and trailer were found&nbsp;in Jamestown on Sunday with severe burns, but the three mini-buses&nbsp;weren&#8217;t discovered until Tuesday, after Tillamook offered a $10,000 reward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tillamook launched the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exhibitoronline.com\/topics\/article.asp?ID=955\" target=\"_blank\">Loaf Love Tour in 2010<\/a>, hoping to expand their cheese beyond the Pacific Northwest, expand brand recognition, and generate media attention. The tour features 650 mobile tasting events in eight states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of this tour was their 60s-style, customized VW mini-buses, which were altered to a &#8220;loaf-like&#8221; length of 10 feet to reflect their loaves of cheese. The buses are worth $300,000 each, and fortunately, did not appear damaged when authorities found them in the storage locker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the time of the cheese crime, the Tillamook buses were stopped&nbsp;to promote their cheese in Sacramento &#8212; also the location of the upcoming <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cheesesociety.org\/conference\/2014-conference\/\" target=\"_blank\">ACS Conference &amp; Competition<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Update: Two men <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/news\/article\/Orange-Tillamook-cheese-vans-stolen-in-California-5622369.php\" target=\"_blank\">were arrested<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;suspicion &nbsp;of stealing the Tillamook minibuses, and are currently being held for investigation of auto theft, possession of stolen vehicles, conspiracy and arson.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: Associated Press<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authorities found three stolen VW cheese buses belonging to the Tillamook Dairy Company in a storage locker in Copperopolis, California<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":11937,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"coauthors":[610],"class_list":["post-11914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cheese-bites"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.4 (Yoast SEO v24.4) -
