In London, Neal’s Dairy Yard produces artisanal cheese that can sell for upwards of $27 a pound…and they’ve just been heisted. Reports say that bandits were able to make off with over two tons of rare cheddar cheese, with a street value of over $400K. Someone claiming to represent a chain of French supermarkets approached the cheesemaker with the order over the summer. In September, the cheese was delivered, but the payment was never received…and the buyer suddenly went “radio silent.” Police are now investigating, but there’s major pessimism of the money will ever come, the cheese will ever be found, and that insurance will cover the loss…teaching everyone in the cheese-making universe the value of the word “deposit.”
