As an avowed and unabashed fan of butter, I can inform you I’ve spent an embarrassing sum of money all through my life on the milky stuff. However I’ve by no means thought of it to be such a behavior that I considered stealing two truck-fulls.
I suppose a quartet of thieves in Trenton, Ontario simply appreciated the stuff greater than me and determined to spend Christmas day stealing a complete of roughly 40,000 kg (88,185 lbs) of butter from a facility there. That’s loads of butter.
The situation was really a trucking facility and, the Quinte West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police say that the thieves stole two trailers stuffed with butter. In case you suppose that possibly these have been merely the trailers nearest the gate, suppose once more.

Canada’s CTV experiences that the trailers have been discovered on December 27 emptied of their contents. Police estimate that the pure, uncut white stuff has a road worth of $200,000 CAD ($158,234 USD at present trade charges).
The Ontario Provincial Police is asking anybody with details about the crime to achieve out and assist out. They’ve mentioned the thieves have been dropped off close to the ability by somebody driving a black SUV, which is… useful. Primarily based on pictures shared by the OPP, it seems a bit like a Cadillac Escalade, which simply makes the entire thing weirder in some way.
Sadly, for the residents of Trenton, 2021 will all the time be remembered because the yr of the good butter housebreaking. Weirdly, Canadians do appear to have a keenness for food-based pilfering. Between 2011 and 2012, thieves stole roughly 3,000 tonnes of maple syrup in Quebec. Criminals simply must rob a mill and rooster farm earlier than they will get collectively for the world’s largest (and most cost-effective) pancake social gathering.
