There'll always be an England

Police recover a stolen van with 2,500 pies after a chef’s appeal, but they are too damaged to eat

The pie heist is the latest theft of artisanal edibles to rock the U.K. food trade. In October, nearly 1,000 wheels of cloth-wrapped artisanal cheddar weighing 22 metric tons (48,488 pounds) and valued at 300,000 pounds ($390,000) were swiped from London’s Neal’s Yard Dairy by a con artist posing as a wholesale distributor for a major French retailer.

Turkey and butternut squash pies, in case you're wondering. Or else a good argument for the Oxford comma.
