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 10 months ago

They raided a dispensary a few hours before this

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

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!

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

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

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months 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 10 months ago (1 children)

How did they steal it, you may ask?

Caerphilly.

I'll see myself out.

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

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

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months 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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Totally missed opportunity.

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

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Just another statistic, since cheese is the most stolen food

Nacho place to judge difficulty.

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

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