........So, from the thief's point of view, there is NOT much money to be made and the RISK is high. Maybe they intend to sell it on eBay at that higher price and MAYBE (?) it would be worth the risk.
.........Maybe it was stolen by a YOUNG person that plays golf and gets a kleptomaniac thrill from stealing?
..........None of these reasons for stealing these clubs makes much sense. Just strange!
I agree, weird way to steal clubs……if they were really stolen and not left somewhere……we will never know.
