stolen stuff there.
I expect that some billionaire someplace hired some people to get them for him.

Could be an inside job. Could be a number of things. Its not like youre going to fence that stuff off very easily. You have to wonder who did it and why? Hired by a Saudi Prince? Sending a message?
Its interesting to say the least.

I thought I read it was a 4 minute job.
That seems like it would require a lot of inside knowledge.
And, knowledge that nobody would hear them using power tools at exactly that time.
