The method they used to steal my machines was a water jug delivery truck. They cruised the area and cased all the stuff they wanted to steal while disguised as a legitimate business. My machines were only recovered out of their shop because there is no honour among thieves. One of the crack addled accomplices decided to try to rob passing vehicles on a bridge with a sawed off shotgun. He ratted out the rest of the operation in an attempt to get a plea bargain.
