Food theft is becoming more common-the maple syrup heist, raids on avocado farms, beehives being taken, now cheese. It’s an easier way to deal in stolen goods, since the goods themselves are almost untraceable and not illegal to sell. As my zaide used to say about the stuff in his junkyard “what you get for free you can afford to sell a little cheaper.”

During a break-in in Gouda, thieves grab all the Swiss reserves and escape under cover of a Humboldt Fog. Sports and weather after these messages.

Blessed are the cheese makers.
Not so much the cheese takers.

Always a great one. A local wine and cheese shop in my 'burg will give you a cheese platter if you can do the sketch with the owner and make no mistakes.

Mostly mocked, in my experience. It’s a sit-inside place as well, so anyone present is encouraged to join in the mockery. Good-natured, but rough.
