OMG: Robbers Steal Tons of Nutella!
The latest hilarious story in food thievery comes from Germany, where robbers stole 5 metric tonnes (5,000 jars) of Nutella, the yummy chocolate hazelnut spread! The estimated price of the stolen Nutella is said to be $20,710. The thieves lifted the product from a parked trailer.
Now you might be thinking what pointless food heist that was. Try telling this to a Nutella ‘loyalist’, he or she will definitely try to explain you how those tons of Nutella were as precious as giant diamonds.
Don’t you think food heist is quite amusing? Instead of stealing money, gold, ‘gastro-gangsters’ steal food. There have been many cases of food heist in the past. For eg:
In 2012, in Quebec, thieves stole $30 million worth of maple syrup
Last year, two truckloads of walnuts, worth around $300,000 went missing from Northern California
In 2011, at the West Coast Tomato Company, around 40,000 pounds of tomatoes were stolen
An Illinois man was arrested for stealing 21 tons of Muenster cheese from a Wisconsin cheese company
Not that we are giving you food heist ideas, but if you were given an opportunity to steal your favourite food, what will it be? Tell us in the comments section. I would hijack a doughnut truck, anyday!
