Maybe you are familiar. But the point of calculating per item was to show its easy to take thousands of dollars out of the back of a truck in an instant. Most are targeted, as in this case as it was the second time, and not a crime of opportunity like you experienced.
They guy was a successful score in the past. More than likely, it was the same people coming back to see what else could be taken. Especially now seeing it was a large operation makes me even more confident that would be likely. Not really sure what your point is at all. Except you seem to think that $200 is enough to make a cops investigative socks go up and down which is the point of contention. Even an ant hill can get massive one grain of dirt at a time. Lots of ~$200 items adds up to a big number, but again, individually they are nothing to get police excited about at all. It's not even enough to claim on insurance. You're just really trying for some unknown reason to hold on to this fallacy of yours.
