Now the question is how do you unload 30 million dollars of maple syrup onto the black market.

[Shinotsa]

Man I remember the sugar festival... that glorious time of year when, even for just a little bit, the French and the English got along. Okay, they actually didn't, but I still have fond childhood memories.

Anyhow, this is so ridiculous that even though I see the source I still don't know if I'm being trolled.

[Scelly9]

How the heck did they even take it?

[Knight of Fools]

Mini Coopers, obviously.

A few tanker semis, perhaps?

It's not the strangest theft to have ever happened, there was that one time in Russia where an entire fucking bridge vanished overnight and was never seen again.

Still, I have come to expect things like this from the Quebecois. 

[Skyrunner]

This is so funny. XD

Mini Coopers, obviously.

I think you mean *Insert The Italian Job flashback*.

I guess nobody cares enough about the "Strategic Syrup Reserve" To actually notice a few tankers backing in and filling up.

[Tarran]

This is silly and absurd. I mean, come on, it's syrup. You could have picked a multitude of other things to steal, and you steal a crapload of syrup? Yeah, I will admit that 30 million is a lot of money, but... really, syrup?

Wait... what? Link please?

Here you go, all 200 metric tons of it gone in one night.

All for only 2,000 pounds.

They managed to steal a huge amount of something valuable that wouldn't be missed for a number of days. I don't care how absurd it seems, they picked a fine target and executed the heist well.

I just don't envy the man that has to clean out those tanker semis.

The replacement bridge cost 20k but was only concrete, the first bridge was probably worth more then that as it was steel.
