Who Stole the Global Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve? And How?
Quote:
|
The theft was discovered during a routine inventory check last week at the St-Louis-de-Blandford warehouse, where the syrup [was] being held temporarily. The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, which is responsible for the global strategic maple syrup reserve, initially kept the news quiet, hoping it would help police solve the crime quickly. About 10 million pounds of syrup was stored at the site, at a value of more than $30 million [Canadian].

Full story
I'm guessing the thieves got lucky when the guard ducked out to Horton's for a coffee.

sounds like someone is in a rather sticky situation.
i guess better to get a mouthful of syrup than gas when syphoning something.
