Local muffler shop I do work for has started building cages/anti theft plates for them it's so bad.
 
Wednesday evening somebody helped themselves to a plasma cutter from one of my stores. Thanks to covid their face was completely covered.

Fortunately, they just posted it for sale on marketplace and the police are on their way. Somebody is getting felony charges for Christmas. *fingers crossed
And then?

Two guys have had theirs stolen in the work parking lot. VPD won’t respond to anything except murders at this point. Friends shop got robbed and they showed up 3 days later🙄
My brother has a tech doing 30+ hrs every week just on cat jobs. Replacing them and installing skids, 80% of that is on Priuses.

Legally, the middle man has to be able to prove where he got them from, if anyone was motivated to do the investigating.

Shipping containers I get.
