The Craziest Food Heists of All Time

The theft of approximately 12 tonnes of KitKat chocolate bars is currently making headlines across Europe. More than 400,000 bars vanished last week while en route from central Italy to Poland—and have yet to be recovered. Where exactly the truck disappeared remains unclear. Manufacturer Nestlé has stated that the products can be traced via unique barcodes, noting: “While we may appreciate the criminals’ exceptional taste, this does not change the fact that cargo theft is an increasing challenge for companies of all sizes.”
