It may be that the thieves didn’t intend to steal the chocolate, they just stole a truck. The candy just happened to be that day’s cargo.

Or, there may actually be a real black market for Kit Kat  
Mmmmmm…chocolate. 😉

Here’s a P&E thread about NewYork mayor Mamdani and his new policy for building larger grocery stores in Manhattan :

> [@](#):
>
> "Bodegas have a business model where all manner of shady practices are commonplace, that a corporate.. operator would not be able to use.
> 
> There’s the willingness of the owner and family to work hours and accept physical risks …And willingness to buy soda and snacks from some random with a box truck that isn’t a representative of Coke/Pepsi, Frito Lay or Mondelez.
> 
> There are lots of reasons why bodegas operate in places where a 7-11, Quiktrip or Circle-K wouldn’t. These well organized chains have too much of a paper trail
