There is a certain family, whom when in a pinch monetarily, will burn down one of the many businesses they own. The guilty party usually showed up at the scene of the crime and treated all of the onlookers to an Oscar winning performance of pain and suffering. This time the torched establishment was an egg processing plant. The town smelled like fried eggs for a week.
