Thieves made off with plenty of cheddar after swiping a trailer filled with $70,000 worth of cheese, officials said.

A semi-tractor was used to steal a trailer containing the cheese products in Germantown, Wisconsin, about 1:30 a.m. on Friday, according to a Facebook post by the local police force. The trailer was located hours later by someone who had seen the online plea — but no cheese was found.

The incident was the second cheese-related caper of the week, according to NBC affiliate WTMJ. Nearly $90,000 worth of Parmesan went missing in Marshfield just days before Friday's robbery, Lt. Darren Larson told the station.

Commerce City pays $262,500 to family whose dog was killed by cop

Commerce City will pay a $262,500 settlement to a family whose 3-year-old dog, Chloe, was shot and killed by a police officer in 2012.

The payout ends years of legal battles between Gary Branson, owner of the mixed-breed therapy dog, and Commerce City's police department.

"The city's out-of-pocket cost was a $50,000 deductible," said Michelle Halstead, spokeswoman for Commerce City. "Our insurance agent covered the rest."

The Animal Law Center in 2013 filed a civil suit in the case on behalf of Branson that was pending in federal court when the settlement was reached. Halstead said the payout was resolved in mediation. The Animal Law Center said the settlement was the largest of its kind.

"I am happy that we have been vindicated," Branson said. "She deserved justice for what happened to her. This has been a very difficult time for me and am glad that it is now settled."

The settlement was first reported Monday by KDVR-TV.

Records show notice of the settlement was filed in court on Friday. A trial in the civil suit was set to begin in February.

Chloe was killed on Nov. 24, 2012, when police were called to a Commerce City neighborhood about a dog running loose. Police tried to capture the dog with catchpoles and used a Taser before Officer Robert Price shot the dog five times.

A neighbor recorded the incident and posted the video on social media, quickly sparking questions and anger from animal advocates and pet lovers.

Price was acquitted in October 2013 by an Adams County jury of aggravated animal cruelty in the shooting.

my problem is not with the government being able to access it, I'm not doing anything wrong..
BUT... if they build a back door... bad people will use it.. it's as simple as that..
the world is full of smart people, and they will find their way in...
one simple script will let them in

AND.. it will cost them (Apple) sales....

many people will abandon Apple and go to something that promises more security.... Android.. windows... whatever

  since the day I saw myspace, ive thought that way lol  hey uh.... youre putting those pics on a remote computer....


dont want it "out there" dont put it "out there"

most folks just dont understand how internet works.  think like a photo goes from one phone or pc right to the other one.

i remember back in the day-mid 90's, looking at servers and switchboards. An email I send to my friend 20 miles away, it made no less than 5 stops along the way. LOL. just like a ups package. they may call it door to door, but there's a thousand warehouses and distribution centers between them doors where your shit gon' get smashed
