Reminds me of one where there was a group of three people who stole sauce packets from a fast food restaurant every day for three years and one night broke in to the place to put all the packets back leaving a huge mess.

I couldn't find the source, I think I read it in a newspaper a while back.

Cheeky buggers.

I don't think it is a Robin Hood thing, meself. Very few crimes are done with true altruism in mind. But one wonders, what will they do with the ham? Sell it in other shops? Use it to smuggle something? Or perhaps someone is up to some mischief, and 17.6 tons of ham is the best way to achieve it. If the latter is the case, I'll expect every police station in Sydney is going to have this stuff mailed to them as a message....or a deluded prank.

They'll be stealing the Turkeys and Christmas puddings next. Bless them. Some hungry homeless people will not starve after all.

You're being overly optimistic, Anubis.

Personally, I think that is optimistic, at best.
