LAS VEGAS (KUALA LUMPUR) – A Henderson man was shocked Monday after discovering more than 100 pounds of bread abandoned on his property with little hint as to where the carbohydrate-laden bread had come from. expressed.
Surprised by the strange discovery, Curtis Dennis plunged a stick into it to make sure no one was killed or buried.
“This is Las Vegas,” Dennis said. “A body was found in a barrel in the lake. Perhaps the body was in a loaf of bread.”
On Monday morning, employees at PBF Manufacturing, a Henderson-based funeral casket supplier, found dozens of unboxed breads still wrapped in plastic in a large dumpster area on the premises. I discovered that it had been left out after the expiration date.
The worker began recording his reaction to the pileup, yelling that he wanted to find the culprit and reprimand him with wheat bread, and then called the manager, Curtis Dennis.
“I couldn't imagine what happened,” he said. “When I looked closely, it looked like mold was growing in some parts.”
Dennis noticed a Kroger Distribution label on the plastic packaging and called the company for answers.
“They had no idea what was going on,” he says. “The supervisors didn’t get anything either.”
But in the pile, Dennis finds something even better than a slice of bread: a root document with numbers and names on it.
Dennis said the Henderson Police Department responded to the scene and took documents with them.
“Illegal dumping has happened before at my house,” he said. “I don't know what to do with this bread. I can't just take it to the garbage dump. It's food.”
Pigeons were circling the trash can area while 8newsnow.com staffers were documenting the mound Thursday. Some packages had tears or openings.
Following the breadcrumbs
Undeterred by the failed attempt with Kroger, Dennis called his local Smith just as he was about to get to the heart of the mystery.
“I spoke to someone who pretended to be a manager, but they wouldn't actually say who they were,” Dennis said. “They just kind of held their breath and laughed.”
Smith's representative told Dennis over the phone that he couldn't reach anyone and didn't know what to do.
Unfortunately, Dennis had not yet come close to understanding where the bread had come from and where it now came from, and he was still no closer to cleaning up the dough mess.
“It just happened to be my trash delivery day that day, so I tried to call Republic Waste Services,” he said. “They have a recording there that says, “This call may be monitored for training purposes,'' and I said, “This is a very humorous story, so you can You’ll want to record it.”
A representative from Republic Waste Services laughed at his story and told him Dennis' Processing Services would pick up the bread the same day.
“Not only did they not pick it up, they took some of it and put it back in the pile,” he said.
On Thursday, Dennis said he still had no idea how to dispose of the pile of bread that had gone moldy since Monday.
A spokesperson for the city of Henderson said the city responded to a request for comment on what the city's ordinance covers for unreasonable disposal.
“This is considered illegal dumping and/or trash misuse. It is the property owner's responsibility to clean up what happens on their property. If there is evidence that another party is responsible, You may report it to the city. If the property owner does not clean up, they are violating city ordinances.”
