She was trying to go out in a glaze of glory.

Do what you must, I have already won

"Police said the spoiled doughnuts were "destroyed."" Quote 'destroyed', umm hmm.

" Krispy Kreme reported the incident to the police and reassured customers then that it was "working to replace the 10,000 stolen doughnuts," the BBC reported." Now New South Wales has to consume 2X the donuts just to catch up, cant have corporate taking the loss. Diabetes incoming.

"In September, a very different kind of doughnut truck heist was also caught on camera more than 7,000 miles away: Two bears on an Alaska military base raided a Krispy Kreme doughnut van that was stopped outside a convenience store during its delivery route." Yay Bears!!

I remember when this first was reported, and I wondered what the plan was; I mean what do you do with 10K donuts.

"I mean what do you do with 10k donuts"

If you have to ask, then you haven't been paying attention.

When there's 10k, not alone.

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Not with that attitude

[-] PatFussy@lemm.ee 27 points 11 months ago

I can destroy 10k doughnuts too. I can also destroy a bathroom toilet in the process.

Australia is the Florida of the world

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

All the fun wacky parts, but without most of the cruel authoritarian shit. Except for being racist towards black people.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

From what I've read, it's already moving that way.

[-] SineSwiper@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

I guess you haven't heard of the Murdock news problem over there.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Well aware. Spent a bunch of time over there and my wife lived and worked in Victoria not too long ago.

Still, when it comes to public policy around health care, woman’s rights over their body’s, access to weapons, the transition to renewable energy, etc, they make the US look like Max Max Fury Road.

[-] Kanzar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Technically abortion isn't actually legal in Australia. Technically. And in some places nearly impossible without driving a real long way.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

To be fair, lots of stuff is nearly impossible without driving a long way in Australia. That’s just Australia.

[-] chitak166@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

99% sure the only reason we rarely hear about Australian racism is because of how successful they've been in segregating natives from colonizers.

[-] Marsupial@quokk.au 4 points 11 months ago

Nah, QLD is Australia's Florida, NSW is more like it's Texas.

Only half, it was perfectly balanced as all things should be.

[-] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 16 points 11 months ago

Classic cops, only taking cases seriously if it directly affects them.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 14 points 11 months ago

What a glorious two weeks though.

[-] WagnasT@iusearchlinux.fyi 14 points 11 months ago

i can't believe they could fit that many donuts in a person.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

You'd be surprised what a squad of cops can do on break.

[-] MrNesser@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Police state no donuts were found and they are considering the death penalty

[-] roguetrick@kbin.social 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You don't particularly understand the capitalist system you're rebelling against as a criminal if you steal a rig. Their masters have them on GPS at all times. You'd have to actually make the deliveries if you want to get away with it. But now you have a job.

i find it quite disturbing that there are bears in the alaskan military

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

That’s who you want to cuddle in that weather.

[-] Koof_on_the_Roof@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

After 2 weeks she had slowed to a crawl

[-] Marsupial@quokk.au 6 points 11 months ago

And she stole that American garbage they call a donut?

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Amazon’s air packing materials have more cake than their raised dough produces, but I like donut glazing, and they slather those little hollow circles.

My donut preference is a warm maple old fashioned from my local mom and pop place, but I’m not gonna lie, if you give me a Krispy Kreme, I’m going to eat that shit.

[-] doubletwist@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Donuts are great. Krispie Kreme are hot garbage though.

[-] Marsupial@quokk.au 3 points 11 months ago

Oh yeah fucking love donuts. Just not KK shit.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

If I had an unmarked white van full of sweets I would leave it in a terrible neighborhood and spray paint "free sweets inside for children".

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Those things look like circular hotdogs.

[-] autotldr@lemmings.world 4 points 11 months ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


An Australian woman was charged Thursday with stealing a parked truck filled with 10,000 Krispy Kreme doughnuts — after two weeks on the run.

New South Wales police said the unmarked delivery truck had stopped for fuel on the outskirts of Sydney on Nov. 29 when a 28-year-old woman allegedly hopped inside and made off with the freshly baked booty.

Detectives followed a trail of crumbs to a suburban carpark, where they found the abandoned vehicle more than a week later.

Officers arrested the woman, who was not identified, at St Marys Railway Station, at about 11:00 am on Thursday.

She was charged with "take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, drive motor vehicle during disqualification period and travel or attempt travel without valid ticket," police said.

In September, a very different kind of doughnut truck heist was also caught on camera more than 7,000 miles away: Two bears on an Alaska military base raided a Krispy Kreme doughnut van that was stopped outside a convenience store during its delivery route.

I know a place where we can have all the donuts we want.
