A-1 "Fancy" grade Maple Syrup retails, typically, for around $10.00 CDN (that's the same as USD these days) for a 500ml bottle.
That's 20 bucks a litre!
Commodity/wholesale prices would probably be around a quarter of that, making it still about four times the price of milk.
The thieves will have been either Montreal mafia (Rizuto family, most likely; they aren't ALL dead yet and they and some croonies still operate, mostly in drugs and construction) or a forward-thinking oriental gang.
What a haul. One wonders how they will unload it on the market? It's too much product to move/sell/store without too many people knowing about it.
Even if found, it'd be questionable if it could be packaged and sold; it's a raw food product in bulk... hardly safe.
That said....
