Sources Were Well Concealed

I resold tools taken from vans without revealing their origin. The harm affected tradespeople and retailers whose losses were absorbed. I concealed the source by selling mixed stock and avoiding direct explanation. Payments were cash and no records were kept. I benefited through margin on resale while remaining distant from the thefts themselves. When buyers asked questions, sales moved elsewhere. The activity ended when market access changed. The stolen tools were never recovered and the losses remained with the owners.
