Totally missed opportunity.

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

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

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

They made a quick Gouda way

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Gotta make that cheddar.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

Even if it becomes a crime brie.

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

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] seth@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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 2 days ago

They raided a dispensary a few hours before this

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

hijacking a truck full of crackers

They'll never catch me!

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

Just another statistic, since cheese is the most stolen food

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 15 points 2 days ago

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

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

Is there a Facebook market place in England? Asking for a cheese loving friend of mine.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Hide the Cougar Gold!

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days 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 2 days ago (1 children)

How did they steal it, you may ask?

Caerphilly.

I'll see myself out.

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

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

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s not easy bein’ cheesy

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Nacho place to judge difficulty.
