8,000 Disneyland tickets stolen from youth farming group

Thieves made off with 8,000 Disneyland tickets when they stole a box trailer from a youth agricultural education organization in Northern California.

The executive director of the California youth farming organization said the tickets were worth about $800,000.

The trailer is owned by Future Farmers of America and was stolen Wednesday from the group’s office in the city of Galt, south of Sacramento.

Officials said security footage shows a dark pickup truck backing up to the trailer and driving it away.

The trailer was also loaded with audio and visual equipment for use at the group’s upcoming annual leadership conference in Anaheim that starts Sunday.

Disneyland has canceled the tickets and is working to print new ones for the 6,500 students attending the organization’s leadership conference that starts Sunday in Anaheim.

Officials are advising people to be cautions if buying Disneyland tickets from a source other than Disney.
