    Post Thieves stripped a Canadian vineyard of grapes the night before harvest

    Thieves stripped a Canadian vineyard of grapes the night before harvest.

    When workers arrived at Canada's Vignoble Coteau Rougemont vineyard on Thursday, ready to pick the last grapes of the season, they were in for a shock. On removing the nets from their carefully cultivated vines, they discovered thieves had hit the site overnight -- making off with half a tonne of grapes, equivalent to more than 300 bottles of wine.

    That's quite the undertaking. Are they sure it wasn't gnomes?

    You would think that someone would have heard the motorized vehicles?

    Sounds like a hit from a competitor.

    Unless they plan to trash the grapes, it has to be someone with the capacity to process it. The theft (hopefully) isn't planning to go to another process location with a bunch of grapes to be turned into wine.
