This is actually very true. As of writing this, the 950 cheddar cheese wheels that have been stolen are still unaccounted for. The Great U.K. Cheese Heist, as its been dubbed is a deep tragedy for Neal Yard's Dairy who produces some of the most sought after cheeses in the U.K.. The deceit was tactful, con artists posing as French wholesale distributors and the fraud was only noticed after the cheese had been delivered.
