Some were stolen as long ago as 2014…
Sooo… they were just stealing the tools and then paying storage unit fees to warehouse them? For 10 years???
That doesn’t make sense… I could understand if they were stealing to re-sell, but that doesn’t appear to be happening here.
Plot twist they didn’t want to sell, they were simple plain owners of hardware store and profited from selling new tools
I like this DeWalt black ops team a lot more than Boeing’s black ops team.
Probably want to sit on stuff a bit after its stolen to make it less hot. Some stuff probably gets left in a corner or is harder to sell. Alternatively The intention is to steal a whole bunch then ship it overseas or across country and resell in a different region entirely.
Probably the crooks just grabbed up everything they could. That means the stuff people have been keeping around that they never had time to repair.
What the hell were the thieves doing with the tools? They had 15,000 of them, were they going to open a Home Depot? Was this a crew of a few dozen people? How were they making money of they had 15,000 tools in like 12 storage units? Even if this was some shady eBay marketplace operation they must have been having serious trouble finding buyers for these tools or something.
You don’t know how much they sold. This could be a fence operation that just grew large.
Thiefs don’t find a buyer everytime they steal something, they go to their “fence” who resells it. Say something is worth $200 used, the fence will pay like half or a third of the value in cash right away, every time. The thief walks away with $80 they can go spend on drugs, and the fence eventually makes $120. Reselling takes time though, and your thiefs keep thieving. If you tell your thief “I can’t buy this today” they will find another fence and you might lose that thief forever. Maybe more thieves if they find out they are a better fence. So you just keep buying stuff, even if your not selling it nearly as fast.
This guy fences and / or thieves.
Did anyone read the phrase “fed up carpenter” and immediately think the was the second coming of Christ?
Paywall? Pass
Thx but i saw it. Just had to disable my javascript
I didn’t see one, either because of my adblocker or one of my installed addons.
Disabling javascript clears it
