I bought a wheel barrow a year or two ago. I had 2 different Lowes tell me they were stolen. One was literally blocks from our house in a nice suburb. The website showed them in stock, I showed up to buy and couldn't find them. The manager explained what happened. They keep them chained/cabled out front and a crew came in with a battery operated cutter and took the whole lot. Apparently, construction crews trying to keep overhead down and when prices went up the risk-reward of theft made it worth it. It's not like they have a VIN or even a SN. Hard to trace once they are gone.
