I agree with you. I remember hearing a Nascar driver (one of the lower cups) in the past few years was staying at a hotel and they had a fairly nice truck outside with an enclosed trailer. The trailer was stolen and it contained a complete race car and a spare engine. I can't remember if the trailer was ever found but the car was found on the side of a road, still intact. People just steal things and when they actually get it somewhere and find whats inside, they flip because they don't realize what they actually stole. It's kinda hard to hide a stolen race car, cause what are you going to do with it besides scraping it out piece by piece. I believe the same thing happened with the robot, I'm just surprised they found the trailer and the person kept the robot. These robots are expensive but it seems like a trailer would be more useful, just switch plates, where a robot, what can you truly do with for personal use.
