Homing beacon for the bacon.

"Police said the spoiled doughnuts were "destroyed."" Quote 'destroyed', umm hmm.

" Krispy Kreme reported the incident to the police and reassured customers then that it was "working to replace the 10,000 stolen doughnuts," the BBC reported." Now New South Wales has to consume 2X the donuts just to catch up, cant have corporate taking the loss. Diabetes incoming.

"In September, a very different kind of doughnut truck heist was also caught on camera more than 7,000 miles away: Two bears on an Alaska military base raided a Krispy Kreme doughnut van that was stopped outside a convenience store during its delivery route." Yay Bears!!

I remember when this first was reported, and I wondered what the plan was; I mean what do you do with 10K donuts.

What a glorious two weeks though.

[–] PatFussy@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

I can destroy 10k doughnuts too. I can also destroy a bathroom toilet in the process.

You don't particularly understand the capitalist system you're rebelling against as a criminal if you steal a rig. Their masters have them on GPS at all times. You'd have to actually make the deliveries if you want to get away with it. But now you have a job.

You guys frontin like we haven't all done that as well

i can't believe they could fit that many donuts in a person.

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Can it really be worth spending 20 years in prison to nab a few Krispy Kremes? I never thought they were all that good anyway, kind of sickly sweet if you ask me. I mean I could stealing a truckload of chocolate, maybe - or a truckload of gold bars, but not donuts.

Classic cops, only taking cases seriously if it directly affects them.

i find it quite disturbing that there are bears in the alaskan military

This is the best summary I could come up with:


An Australian woman was charged Thursday with stealing a parked truck filled with 10,000 Krispy Kreme doughnuts — after two weeks on the run.

New South Wales police said the unmarked delivery truck had stopped for fuel on the outskirts of Sydney on Nov. 29 when a 28-year-old woman allegedly hopped inside and made off with the freshly baked booty.

Detectives followed a trail of crumbs to a suburban carpark, where they found the abandoned vehicle more than a week later.

Officers arrested the woman, who was not identified, at St Marys Railway Station, at about 11:00 am on Thursday.

She was charged with "take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, drive motor vehicle during disqualification period and travel or attempt travel without valid ticket," police said.

In September, a very different kind of doughnut truck heist was also caught on camera more than 7,000 miles away: Two bears on an Alaska military base raided a Krispy Kreme doughnut van that was stopped outside a convenience store during its delivery route.

at first I read Krispy Meme doughnuts

And she stole that American garbage they call a donut?

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Amazon’s air packing materials have more cake than their raised dough produces, but I like donut glazing, and they slather those little hollow circles.

My donut preference is a warm maple old fashioned from my local mom and pop place, but I’m not gonna lie, if you give me a Krispy Kreme, I’m going to eat that shit.

Let her go, ref
