What was the point? The thieves stole the tools, put them in storage lockers, and then...did nothing? Didn't fence them, sell them on E-Bay, what was the point? They had storage lockers all over the place filled with tools...what was the point of the thefts??


either it was NIMBYs preventing construction in their neighborhoods or the goods in the warehouse represent a small fraction of all they’ve ever stolen. given the scale being stored, I think they’re a fence, not the thieves themselves, which means they paid upfront for all those tools, which means they must be selling quite a bit to have that cash available for reinvestment.
