ROCK HILL, S.C., March 25 (UPI) -- Authorities in South Carolina said a thief made off with 56,400 green Bic highlighters, worth more than $28,000, from a truck parked at a truck stop.

Rock Hill police said TXN Logistics truck driver Barry Cousar discovered the two pallets of highlighters, and several other boxes of 400 pens each, missing from the truck after it had been parked for a time Friday at a South Anderson Road truck stop, the Rock Hill Herald reported Thursday.

Cousar said the exterior of the truck was not marked in any way to suggest its contents.

"They probably saw the trailer had a lock on it and wanted to see what was inside," the driver said.
