Cops patting themselves in the back for busting this theft ring while it was a regular citizen who took the time and effort to do the work the police couldn’t be bothered to do in the first place.
makes you wonder if they did know, but were incentivized to look away. How many years can a ring of tool thieves operate with that kind of take without attracting any kind of enforcement?
I bet it was a perfect racket for cops to equip their own garages with some nice kit.
