I thought you should know.
About ten years ago, back in August of 2017, a pretty big heist took place, if you ask me.
You see, there were some thieves in the town of Neustadt, Germany. I was there in 2016. I had nothing to do with it.
Anyway, those thieves stole a refrigerated truck filled with up to 20 tons of Nutella and Kinder chocolate eggs. That delicious sugary haul had an estimated worth of around $80,000. That’s one big jar of Nutella.
This robbery led law enforcement in Germany to make a public service announcement.
They warned citizens with some good advice that we should probably always follow: “Anyone offered large quantities of chocolate via unconventional channels should report it to the police immediately.”
Mysteriously, a separate trailer filled with 30 tons of fruit juice was stolen that same weekend in the town of Wittenberg, around 260 miles northeast of the missing hazelnut spread.
Personally, I think it was a band of unruly squirrels. They scored big with the Nutella. And after scarfing down all that gooey spread, they got seriously thirsty. And we all know how squirrels love a good juice box.
This was a true story. But I’m not sure about the perpetrators.
