Cheese Theft

Cardinal Richelieu

Fellow on RTE from some retail organisation going on about the escalation in cheese theft in Ireland and how you can buy cut price cheese and rashers in the pub. Am I going to the wrong pubs? Have you ever bought cheese from a bloke in a pub that wasn't behind the bar?

Here was me thinking this was a publicity stunt but it turns out cheese is the most stolen food item in the world with 3% stolen worldwide.

It’s hard to believe their motives were fondue related.

Cheese is relatively expensive for the volume it takes up, like most of the items on their list.

Someone told me it was the Gillette razors its why they are usually locked away at the tills in Supermarkets. Like it is usually 20 t0 25 euro for 4 of them in a nice pocket size packet.

Cheese is of the goldilocks range of prices I'm guessing. Expensive enough to make it worthwhile stealing but not expensive enough to warrant extra security measures like tags.

Free cheese for the poverty stricken underclass.
