The police found the U-[del]Bend[/del] Haul truck, but all of its contents – including the Crapster – were gone. So what will the thieves do with a seven-foot toilet on wheels? They can’t sell it. They can’t be seen with it. They’ll probably just dump it.
Thefts of unsalable items usually point to a jealous competitor.
In the big band era, a well known band would occasionally be robbed of its music library. It couldn’t be sold as a unit because other bands in the territory could identify the band’s “specials” or handwritten arrangements; it couldn’t be played by anyone else because audiences in the territory could identify it; and it was hard to move or break up quickly, being a heavy trunk of 15 or more music books, each containing many dozens of parts for one instrument.
It could, however, be quietly trashed, putting the band pretty well out of business until a new library could be assembled. Few if any stolen libraries were ever seen again.
