I just don't envy the man that has to clean out those tanker semis.
Presumably you could just flood the tanks with something that can denature the syrup residue, rendering it non-sticky and easily washed away.

All for only 2,000 pounds.

The replacement bridge cost 20k but was only concrete, the first bridge was probably worth more then that as it was steel.
Ah, true. Their wording (or possibly my comprehension) is shite.

Maybe we're seeing the start of a food related crime spree orchestrated by international gentlemen master thieves? Next up, I bet; the Norwegian National Strategic Butter Reserves.

I wonder who would make the strangest culprit.

North Korean spies?

Chinese agents?

Quebec secessionists?

Somali pirates?

Under area 51 lies the US strategic corn syrup reserves.  If someone stole those they would bring this nation to it's knees.

I heard that corn merchants always want to dump corn if possible to raise prices...

If a bunch of corn entered the market it would cause prices to plummet.

You're right, supply and demand will be thrown out of balance when this syrup is sold. Never before has the black market had the capacity to cause such dark times.
