Cheese: The Most Stolen Food in the World

I would've guessed candy or liquor, but no. The most frequently stolen food on Earth is actually cheese:

Almost four percent of the world's cheese supply ends up stolen, putting cheese ahead of other frequent grocery targets like candy and alcohol. Shoplifting rates as a whole are going up, because, hey, times are tough. "For the past six months, [retailers] have been affected by bad news—economic slow down, government cuts and now an increase in shoplifting," one retail analyst told Sky News.

Not surprising, as cheese is one of the most expensive items per weight or volume. And things like live lobsters may cause some problems, especially if the rubber bands break.
