• Here's what may explain uptick in cooking oil thefts (wmur.com) — Recent arrests in Hampton for used cooking oil theft are part of a broader trend, as Beverly, Massachusetts police just charged three teens in a similar case. With diesel averaging $6.35 per gallon in New Hampshire, experts say rising fuel prices are boosting the value of waste oil, making local restaurants and collection sites more tempting targets for thieves.
