Stolen Maple Syrup Found and Returned To Strategic Reserve

First time accepted submitter bmxeroh writes "Remember the tragic maple syrup heist? Police have seized more than 600 barrels of maple syrup they say are related to the missing syrup. It was transported back to Quebec via a 16 tractor trailer, heavily guarded (and presumably heavily armed) convoy Wednesday."

    I'm from Europe and I don't really get why a strategic reserve of maple syrup is needed... Do you plan on living on maple syrup in case of a nuclear holocaust?

    Are they sure that the syrup they're returning hasn't been contaminated?

    Stealing something and then making it easy to recover seems to be a perfect trojan horse.
