minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up55·1 month agoSome 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.
