syrup heist in Quebec

[slammer3364]

Read an article in local news paper about a maple syrup heist in Quebec where they store the syrup for keeping syrup supply flowing.The article stated over 1,000,000 dollar value of the syrup stolen,they found the empty drums so I am assuming it was pumped into a tanker? Anyone else seen anything about this?

I just read about it, made the national news!

I hope this stuff doesn't get pumped into the market at pennies on the dollar.

My cynical and optimistic side thinks: maybe they dumped it into the river and will collect the insurance? Doubt it.

Maybe the season wasn't that good. Maybe the drums were empty to begin with. Maybe OMEC was trying to prevent $4/lb syrup (a la 2008). Maybe Tim Horton's is really Dunkin Donuts relabeled.
