THIEVES IN GERMANY have made off with a truckload of Nutella, stealing five tonnes of the hazelnut chocolate spread from a parked semi-trailer, police said today.
The theft of seven palettes of Nutella jars, worth a total of about €16,000, took place at the weekend in the city of Niederaula in the central state of Hesse, said police.
Thieves in the region have previously stolen other large quantities of food products, including five tonnes of coffee worth €30,000 taken in March and 34,000 cans of an energy drink in August.
The site of the thefts, northeast of Frankfurt, is near a road transport hub where truck drivers living in the region tend to park their lorries at weekends, said a police spokesman.

When it comes to money, insurance companies will use any excuse they can find not to pay. Absolutely despicable.
Insurance companies the world over spit lies that insurance fraud is out of control, we see it here with adverts asking people to rat on their neighbours and we know that they’ll deny or underpay claims for spurious reasons.
You are right a parked van became a run away vehicle and ploughed into the front of my house last April causing over 13, 000 euros in damage yet I still haven’t received a cent to repair my house, I can’t wait to screw them in court.

i hope you’re going to to a shrink for counselling because of the stress
We were in the front room at the time of the accident and showered with glass. Frightened the crap out of us . But the worst part was trying to pluck up the courage to look under the van as children had been playing in the vicinity 20 minutes earlier.
Involved with a small insurance claim for a leak recently , they pulled every trick going to delay my payment like not returning my calls, answering my emails, assessor is sick today , its in the post , forgot to post the cheque etc etc unbelievable !!
My opinion is Frank that the insurance industry is now simply heartless, they do not want to pay a cent for a legitimate claim
Just when I thought showbiz couldn’t get any more surreal, extraordinary insurance claim.
have your say
