SOUTHWEST RANCHES, Fla. – Burglars broke into Real Green Nursery June 4 and stole approximately $100,000 worth of machinery. Authorities said the thieves jumped the fence before cutting the padlocks, taking a Ford F-350, skid-steer, trailer, Kubota and tools.
Business owner Kendly Pierre, 42, said he has never had a setback like this.He said they took their time, hot-wired his Ford F-350 and stole a trailer to load up the rest of the machinery.
They drove off with the haul, unloaded the merchandise and returned for more, Pierre said.
The thieves spent about two and a half hours on the property, much of that time trying to steal a new $75,000 loader, but Pierre had it blocked in with a larger tractor.
