Certain kinds of old-timey crimes have been romanticized, like “the art of pickpocketing.” So maybe someday we can do that with THIS:
Canada is apparently dealing with a BUTTER THIEVERY SYNDICATE, primarily operating in Guelph, Ontario.
Over the past week, there were two large butter thefts from different grocery stores. We’re not talking about shoving a few packs in your coat, in both cases, two men got away with several CASES of butter.
The first theft was valued at $936, and the second was $958. They got away with it by loading all the butter into a cart, and then sneaking out through the back of the store.
There have been at least seven large-scale butter thefts in Guelph in the last 10 months. It’s not known if all the incidents are related, but let’s be honest, what are the chances that multiple criminals in the area independently decided to get into the butter-thieving business within the past few months.
