I was notified today by the owner of one of the major Contractor's I work for that they were robbed last night. they stole an estimated amount of $100,000 worth of equipment out of the yard. mostly welding equipment. 3 large welders valued at around $12,000 each. 4 were involved. all caught on camera, but they are too far away to be of value other than watching them steal everything.
one guy scaled the fence, went right into the trucks and hot wired them, got them ready, broke into the cargo trailer and stole welders out of it. bolt cutters were used to open the gate, and off they went.
The Sheriff came to the scene, watched the video, and gave a card with a case number and left! no prints, no pictures, nothing. I've already got a pretty good idea who did it. I'm going there tomorrow to see if I can be of any help. I've known the owner for over 15 years. we worked at another company together before he started this one. they own 3 business's. U'S. Custom Fab, Alumitech, and D'z Boys mobile welding. the mobile welding was cleaned out almost completely.
Happy New Year
