This article was about a man named Brian Michael Davidson who was found with stolen vehicles and charged with 19 felony charges. The motives of Davidson weren't displayed in the article, but it was probably for money or other personal gain. "Officials recovered two Ford diesel trucks, a backhoe, a commercial generator and two motorcycles...". The stolen property totaled around $100,000. One of the most common methods of stealing vehicles are to simply target ones that are unattended but still have keys in the ignition, or windows down. Sometimes, thieves will start by "breaking and entry, followed by hotwiring...". This man also probably could have used fraudulent theft, or illegal acquisition of a vehicle... through fraudulent transfer of funds...". "If the value of the property or services stolen is seven thousand five hundred dollars or more and is less than one hundred fifty thousand dollars, a violation of this section is grand theft, a felony of the fourth degree", which was probably what this man will be charged with. Along with jail time, Davidson may be fined for the stolen property.
