Even if it becomes a crime brie.

I don't think they heard you, they already got a whey.

If they keep escaping they may have established a cottage industy.

What exactly does one do with 22 tonnes of stolen cheese?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I have a feeling their next crime will be hijacking a truck full of crackers or possibly a winery heist.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

They raided a dispensary a few hours before this

hijacking a truck full of crackers

They'll never catch me!

My associate, Pinky and I are here to inspect your luxurious and delicious cheeses to make sure they are up to code.

I understand the desire to steal cheddar. Sometimes I stare longingly at the large blocks in my local cheese shop.

But you can't give in to intrusive thoughts, people.

Hide the Cougar Gold!

This is absolutely the kind of crime I want to commit when I'm 83.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

At those prices, they've gotten a taste of their own medicine. Highway robbery.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Uh.

Does anyone currently know James May's whereabouts now that Andy Wilman is presumably no longer keeping tabs on him?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How did they steal it, you may ask?

Caerphilly.

I'll see myself out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Very gouda. You deserve a rind of applause for that one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Just another statistic, since cheese is the most stolen food

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago
