Someone stole 22,000 thousand apples from one of Michigan's favorite apple orchard...

Spicer Orchards in Hartland is dealing with a crime like no other in its more than 50-year history. Someone stole over 22,000 apples right off the trees... 

On Sunday the apples were not ready to pick, so the crew waited a few days and came back to all of the apples gone.

“There was nothing there,” said Ryan Spicer, the grandson of Alan Spicer, the farm’s founder.

“We were predicting about 7,000 pounds of apples to be harvested over the next week period,” said Matthew Spicer, the son of the farm’s founder.

“At least a crew of nine,” added Ryan.

“It would have to be somebody who would not have to distinguish between ripe and not ripe apples. Because they took them both,”

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
