it's a hot commodity these days toilet
paper
since the corona virus outbreak hit
people are stocking up from coast to
coast creating shortages in North
Carolina authorities say a truck may
have been stolen with 18,000 pounds of
commercial toilet paper inside the
Guilford County Sheriff's Office says
the shipment was lawful but the trailer
had been reported stolen when they
discovered the coveted cargo in the back
at this time the sheriff says the driver
is only suspected of stealing the truck
and no arrests have been made as they
continue to investigate the incident
some stores like Costco have been
limiting the amount of toilet paper
customers can purchase at once it kind
of puts them in their place like you
can't be doing that you know I figured
about you people carrying out national
crisis despite the limitations they're
still finding it hard to keep up with
demand this California Costco put a sign
outside the store listing products they
ran out of toilet paper was at the top
of the list but it's not all panic
purchasing that's leading to the
shortage according to a market research
firm which reports a 140 percent
increase in household use of toilet
paper since many people are staying at
home they're using more of their own
toilet paper instead of what's provided
in offices schools and public
establishments paper companies like
Atlanta based Georgia Pacific have been
ramping up production to get Americans
through this trying time
