Probably an inside job :sherlock:

Cheap Chinese junk leftovers from The Warehouse's last year Christmas stock rotting in a container... What better way to get rid of it all at once than through insurance claims?

Yep, it does sound a bit suss. Given the items stolen and the quantity surely they would be hard to dispose of without drawing suspicion.
Also where would you hide such a large haul without someone noticing.

Could well be an insurance job.

Would've been a lot easier to burn the place down which would seem to be the usual method.

That's a lot of stolen stuff to move, it's coming up Christmas though, then there's pub raffles, but getting rid of all that has to be a big job.

Personally, if I was going to take up thieving for a hobby, I'd sooner flog one decent bike.

Still, any theft is a kick in the guts for anyone individual or shop on the receiving end.

Bah, don't worry. The "victim" will claim at FULL price minus excess. Original value would've been $75 a piece anyways (except for the Mitsubishi ute).

Could be a boon for local bucket racing.
