Three suspects were caught on camera swiping over two thousand dollars worth of merchandise from Sears Essentials.
Police believe two of the three, hit the same store in Tillman's Corner earlier this week, then again the very next day.
The store manager tells News Five desperate thieves turn over the stolen lawn equipment for cash at pawn shops.
"We've talked to a lot of the pawn shops in the area and they'll let us know that some one had brought in this high valued merchandise and that we need to be aware that it could potentially be ours,"Said Amy Bolton a manager at Sears Essentials.
The three suspects were last seen loading up a white U-Haul van. If you know anything that could help police, call CrimeStoppers at 208-7000.

The large national company my ex husband managed stores under instructed them to not pursue shoplifters. They could confront them as far as the door to the store but no farther. If I worked at Sears, I don’t think my life would be worth a tiller.
As far as pawning the items, pawn shops have computerized records. Thousands of dollars worth of equipment was stolen off a job and quickly tracked to the crack head who took them. Strange thing was, she left a receipt on the scene. DUH.
We were very pleased with Mobile police and their tracking of the items. They certainly did their job. One issue I have is that the pawn shop was told to hold our table saw, somehow, they sold it. We had no compensation for the item.
