"Festive thieves have stolen a colossal load of hams and bacon from a Sydney warehouse — and smeared "Thanks… Merry Christmas" on the wall as a keepsake.

Nearly 16 tonnes of meat was stolen from Zammit Ham & Bacon in the Sydney suburb of Pendle Hill between 3:30pm on Saturday and 5:30am on Sunday.

Alarmed factory employees phoned police early on Sunday morning upon discovering the crime."



Now my question is, how the hell does someone steal 16 tonnes of meat? How would you even distribute 16 tonnes among people without getting caught? What a stupid crime.

If they have relatives like mine, quite easy. Just hold a barbie, it will all be gone in a few hours. : :

I was waiting for the punch line the whole time. We got the bacon type joke.

But no, 16 tonnes? Somebody should be on the watch at egg factories.

maybe the meat was approaching the use by date so now the owners can write it off and get some sweet insurance cash
