Several hundred holiday hams have been snatched from a London, Ont., business just days before Christmas.
Jeff Brode of Honey-Bee Hams Co. said thieves snapped the locks off a rented mobile refrigeration unit Friday night, making off with the hams. Brode said they've been so busy with orders, he did not have time to count just how many were taken.
He said anyone who has placed an order will still get a ham, and they're still taking orders.
Hours after the hams were stolen, someone on the website Kijiji put up an ad saying they had "lots of hams" to sell.
"They aren't quite glazed and are a bit unfinished, but they're still delicious, and way cheaper than the grocery store," the ad said. "Need to get rid of these ASAP - not a lot of fridge space!"
An ad was posted on Kijiji selling "lots of hams". (Kijiji screengrab)

I keep looking at the local news for an update on this, lol. While it wouldn't surprise me if the culprits are caught because they advertised their ill gotten goods on kijiji, it deserves a big face palm if that turns out to be true.

Just someone hamming it up.

Why not lefties? Do so-called progressives not eat pork?

Lefties would have given them away to poor people or shelters instead of trying to profit from them.

I hope they don't keep them too long without refrigeration. I wouldn't buy any "bargain" ham in Ontario for a while

I go further and not recommend buying any foodstuffs from Kijiji. Just seems prudent.

Not even the Huttie chickens or potatoes?

These robberies are normal. They head for restaurant row- steaks, beef, and hams go like crazy. And no one says a word.

Just seems a questionable place to buy your food to me.

Around here the newspaper and kijiji are the best places to get producer marketed foods. Cheap like borscht and excellent quality.

Fair enough but where I come from, it's about one step up from buying from the trunk of someone's car, lol.

Scary.

That's not encouraging.

It is if you bought 15 years ago.
