Well, that’s not the kind of headline you see every day, now is it?
But we live in a strange and unpredicatable world and you never know what crazy people of this planet are gonna do…like the story you’re about to read.
Let’s face it: criminals who make their livings stealing anything that isn’t tied down are always after the next big score…but this one is a little bit different than your run-of-the-mill crime.
A man in England is looking at up to two years in jail after he pled guilty to stealing roughly 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs worth $37,000…that’s a lot of chocolate, my friends.

32-year-old Joby Pool broke through metal gates to get into a building housing a trailer stuffed with the sweet, delicious, and creamy Cadbury Eggs.
Pool then towed the trailer away but was later caught by police.
Prosecutor Owen Beale told the court, “This is clearly an organized criminal matter. You don’t just happen to learn about a trailer with that kind of value being available.”
Pool was previously convicted of theft and handling stolen goods in 2019…and it seems like he didn’t learn his lesson, did he?
And what was he planning to do with this much chocolate?
Perhaps we’ll never know…
