Approximately $160,000 worth in cheese has been stolen in two separate incidents occurring about a week apart, according to news reports.

The latest heist was discovered last Friday, when Germantown, Wisconsin, police found a stolen semitrailer 10 hours after it disappeared -- minus $70,000 in cheese, according to the police department's Facebook page.

A week earlier, some $90,000 in Parmesan cheese went missing from a storage facility in Marshfield, Wisconsin, Fox News reported.

14. Yes, it stinks

But it doesn't compare to the sticky situation of the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist. I had to give up pancakes for a little while.
