Something is rotten in the state of Wisconsin.
Germantown police have recovered $70,000 worth of stolen "cheese product" that went missing after thieves stole a 54-foot trailer using a semi-tractor, officials said Monday.
The cheese-loaded trailer was stolen early Friday morning. By 10 a.m., a Facebook follower located the empty vehicle near Milwaukee, 25 miles southeast, the police department said.
That evening, GPD Detectives located the cheese products in Milwaukee.
"No arrests have been made, and no other information can be released at this time due to it being an active investigation," a police statement read.

The crime marks the second major cheese heist in Wisconsin last week. Almost $90,000 worth of Parmesan went missing from a facility in Marshfield, almost 200 miles northwest of Germantown.
Police have said the cheese capers appear unrelated.
