Oy. That's an expensive load. The most expensive load I have personally seen was probably a load of cherries, valued at maybe $80K-100K. I've heard stories of sealed loads where the driver only learned afterward that he was hauling a load of decommissioned US currency, which would have probably been a juicy target for a heist.

The $18 Million Maple Syrup Heist That Shocked Canada | True Crime Story / -1min
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VfAWir4EBhU

In one of the strangest and most unexpected heists ever, thieves in Quebec stole over 10,000 barrels of maple syrup worth more than $18 million between 2011 and 2012.

They siphoned syrup from a government storage facility, replaced it with water, and sold the real syrup on the black market.
It went unnoticed for months — until inspectors tapped a barrel and realized it wasn’t sweet at all.

The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist became a national scandal, proving that when something is valuable enough, even breakfast can turn into big business.

A load of bison was stolen earlier this year and made its way into the shelves of discount grocery stores in Pennsylvania. It was discovered it was stolen and unsold inventory was returned to the vendor.
