Purported Nova Scotia beer bandit inspires Cape Breton band to write song
SYDNEY, N.S. — A purported Cape Breton beer bandit named Terry whose alleged exploits became famous in a Facebook post last week has inspired a namesake song that has itself now gone viral.
It started last week when a Facebook account with the user name Ronnie Talbot posted in the Cape Breton Rant Room about someone — identified by a Tim Hortons worker as ‘Terry from the Pier’ — who allegedly stole beer from his truck while he was inside the coffee shop.
“Does anyone know a guy named Terry from the Pier? He’s got a stupid … haircut if that helps,” the Sept. 25 post said.
“Him and another young fella stole a 24 out of the bed of my truck while I was taking a piss in Tim’s. I was on my way out when I saw them jump into a green Pontiac Bonneville… So help me Jesus Terry if I find you you’re (expletive).”
