Psst: Wanna Buy Some Mouldy Cheese?

[mawnansmiff]

Thieves have made off with some 22 tons of cheese worth more than £300k from a warehouse in London.

Now I'm no thief nor am I a fence so I struggle to think what these thieves might do with their ill gotten gains. Perhaps a raid on the Branston Pickle factory will be their next hit?

I adore good mature artisan made cheese but I'm thinking there's only so much cheese one can eat so I suspect these cheese chumps might have one heck of a job in shifting this.

More than 22 tonnes of cheddar stolen from Neal's Yard Dairy

Fraudsters targeted the high-value cheddar by pretending to be legitimate wholesalers.

Maybe they can somehow convert it into Stilton, then they could probably sell some to me!

Maybe they're preparing to throw the world's most epic fondue rave?

Could be lucrative, when I go on a fancy cheese binge I can easily drop a hundred bucks on just what I can hold on my two hands. I have massive hands but that's besides the point. Could be worth a lot of cheddar, though I'd brie surprised if they get away with it, this stinks of an inside job.

Prepare to find stores stocked with way off-brand Aged Cheddar!!

The owners of the cheese would be feeling rather cheesed off now.

Are the Green Bay Packers playing an away game in London?

Gotta be the Russians. The sanctions ten years ago stopped all cheese exports to Russia; they since claim that they can make their own cheddar... but can they?

I believe that the thieves misread Matthew 5:9. That scripture does not say, "Blessed are the cheese-takers...," but, rather, "Blessed are the peacemakers..."

Thats a lot of freakin perishables to move if its not figured out in advance. They will probably get caught.

I agree...probably an inside job and they may have access to where product is distributed and who is crooked amongts those buyers.

If they can get it into the EU its probably a lot easier to distribute.

The theft was from Neal’s Yard, one of the premier cheesewrights in London.
They would have been choice.
