All of the maple syrup inventories are fully insured, according to the FQMSP.

That's the key statement. I bet it was an inside job.

A cabal led by Aunt Jemima and Mrs. Butterworth is suspected to have played a part in this syruptitious operation.

A person in the thick of it spilled the opinion that it is a sticky situation.

Authorities suspect several Las Vegas lounge singers, Barry Manilow among them, who have been anxious to supplement their syrupy reportoirs.

No way they could have gotten away with that with the warehouses of Jack scattered around Lynchburg and Moore County, TN.

Actually, it can be done. Back in the 1970’s a company here made rocket engines that burned a blend of caramel and potassium nitrate.

How many tanker trucks visited the place while nobody noticed?

And how can all that maple syrup show up somewhere else without anybody noticing?

My bet is ... the barrels delivered never contained anything; the contents were absconded with before arrival at the warehouse ...

In the syrup market Vermont production is a blip compared to Québec.
