Good Day All;
My understanding is that the owner was "mugged / robbed" in front of the hotel, in the parking lot. A large amount of cash,(In another place someone said that it was 40K) which is most likely what the thieves were after, was taken, plus a pack sack with the pipes.
I suspect the pipes were tossed into a dumpster ( which makes me cringe at the loss , as the thieves probably had no idea what the pipes are worth.
This was not a room break in.
Regards
Michael J. Glukler
