Who the hell wants to steal an escalator? I mean, what can you do with it once you've taken it?

Escalator theft is rife in China.  
The Triads are building a subway to the Earth's core.  
From there they will launch a suprise restaurant-building attack on Salt Lake City.

ROFL

Either those guys have a VERY nice HQ, or they're gonna get a nasty surprise when they try and sell it on the black market. No one wants to have a convo like this:

Boss: "Where'd you get the escalator for so cheap?"
Supervisor: "Uhm...the ice cream shop?"

It fell of the back of a truck, honest!

Seriously, finding a fence for this is interesting. They might just melt the damn thing down.
