That's a lot of high dollar inventory to be a random theft. Hope he gets at least some of it back.
Sounds like at least one or two organized groups are targeting dealers. It's a good time to for dealers to make themselves harder targets.
The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true.
we need to set a trap with wasps or fire or something
Our society has let the detriments to these and many types of other crime to be to soft. We reap what we sow I hope they catch them and the guys gets his stuff back.
