From the things they took they must have been collecting to sell at the scrap yard. The place is quite remote, so it was probably easy pickings for them. Too bad the scrap yard didn't turn them in when they came to sell the stuff.

That makes sense, yeah I think the scrap yards just turn a blind eye because it's hard to tell what's legitimate or stolen.
Jim worked behind the counter at a scrap yard after he retired from GM and they called the cops regularly when people brought in obviously stolen metal. Park benches, cemetery veteran markers, signs and such. In a small town they knew their regular scrappers pretty well and knew who the thieves were.
