It's a small town with relatively few machine shops and no pawn shops.

Were just ONE person's tools taken but not others?

One man shop. He wasn't cleaned out, but hurt pretty good.

Someone did that to my father a couple decades ago. Took all his

Turned out to be one of my cousins -- his nephew -- broke in one night
