Thieves steal 17 tons of ham

hamNot only did thieves in Australia steal 17 tons of ham from a warehouse in Sydney, they left a note on the wall that said "Thanks, Merry Christmas."

Ouch.

The ham was stolen from the Zammit Ham and Bacon Curers company via a hole the thieves cut in the wall. The ham was worth $100,000. No one knows how the crooks got 17 tons of ham out of there though. I'm guessing elves, or maybe a relative of The Grinch?
