The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist (French: vol de sirop d’érable du siècle, lit. ‘maple syrup heist of the century’) was the theft over several months in 2011 and 2012 of nearly 3,000 tonnes (3,000 long tons; 3,300 short tons) of maple syrup, valued at C$18.7 million (equivalent to C$24.1 million in 2023) from a storage facility in Quebec. The facility was operated by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (French: Fédération des producteurs acéricoles du Québec, FPAQ) which represents 77 percent of the global maple syrup supply.[1]
Adjusted for inflation, the heist is the most valuable in Canadian history.

The funniest part is that some of the thieves were motivated ideologically. One of them was a libertarian opposed to the cabal system because it wasn’t free market enough in his eyes.
It helps feeling better about stealing.
