There was another incident last weekend where a guy moving to town from Minnesota had his U-Haul stolen from the parking lot of the Bellevue Hilton. They found the truck in Tacoma with the lock broken and many of his things gone. Hopefully it's a good sign that the lock in this case is in intact.
Still, I'm gobsmacked at the idea the thieves knew how to steal a truck but not how to break a lock. Unless maybe they saw this particular theft was getting attention in social media and ditched quickly?
And cheers to second-rate thieves (that sleep with your camera on the street) and give up on pesky padlocks!
And yes, here's to idiots who steal locked trucks, but don't have enough common sense to invest $20 for a decent pair of bolt cutters.

I guess their lock-picking skills were better than their upper arm strength.
Sad news indeed.
