"The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist — Sticky Fingers, Sweet Millions, and Canada’s Liquid Gold"

When you think of million-dollar heists, you picture diamonds, art, or gold bars… not pancakes. But between 2011 and 2012, a crew of sticky-fingered masterminds pulled off one of the sweetest crimes in Canadian history — stealing over $30 million worth of pure Quebec maple syrup right out from under the nose of the syrup cartel.

Join Steve on this deliciously bizarre deep dive into The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist — a story of greed, rebellion, and breakfast gone rogue. From secret warehouses and siphoned barrels to courtroom showdowns and glowing syrup molecules (yes, really), this case proves that truth is often stranger — and stickier — than fiction.

Was it a crime of opportunity or a revolt against the syrup monopoly? Did the thieves deserve jail time or a medal for creativity? Grab your coffee and get ready to laugh, gasp, and maybe crave pancakes, because this is Heists, Hustles, and Homicide at its most Canadian.

Heists, Hustles, and Homicide
True Crime Stories
Welcome to Heists, Hustles, and Homicide — the true crime podcast where brains, betrayal, and blood all share the same spotlight.
I'm Big Steve your host, and each week, I’ll take you into the minds of the boldest criminals, the slickest con artists, and the darkest murderers history has to offer.
Some of these stories you’ve heard whispers of.
Some have been buried.
And some? They were never supposed to be uncovered at all.
We’ll crack open legendary heists that rewrote the rules…
We’ll follow the hustlers who schemed their way into the high life…
And we’ll revisit chilling homicides that still haunt investigators — and victims’ families — decades later.
But this isn’t just about crime.
It’s about people.
What drives someone to pull off the perfect con — or the perfect murder?
Is it desperation? Greed? Ego? Revenge?
Each episode, we’ll unravel one real-life case — beginning to end.
Some episodes will play out like thrillers.
Others will feel like puzzles missing a single, crucial piece.
And in every one, we’ll ask the same question:
How far would you go?
So whether you're into high-stakes break-ins, twisted lies, or unsolved crimes that keep you up at night — welcome.
You’ve found your new obsession.
This is Heists, Hustles, and Homicide.
