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

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

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

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

They raided a dispensary a few hours before this

They'll never catch me!

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.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Uh.

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

[–] Superfool@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How did they steal it, you may ask?

Caerphilly.

I'll see myself out.

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Totally missed opportunity.

"In The Cheesiest Caper of 2024...."

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Just another statistic, since cheese is the most stolen food
