Mind bending? This story is true .... !!!
Thieves harvested an entire crop of prime cabernet sauvignon grapes in a "wine mafia" raid.
The gangsters stole 35 tonnes of the ripened fruit from a vineyard in the South of France.
Two harvesting machines were driven on to the site in the middle of the night to collect the top-quality red wine grapes, which the owner had spent a year cultivating.
The crop has a raw value of only about £15,000 but could be used to make some of the world's finest wine.
Police said: "These are some of the best grapes in France, and we fear a wine mafia gang has stolen them. We are undoubtedly dealing with the kind of upmarket criminals who steal old master paintings and antiques to order."
Officers believe a Russian gangster could be behind the raid that has left the owner of the vineyard, near Sauvian in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, facing financial ruin.
