It's not the first digger related looting, as a Lidl was completely destroyed only two weeks ago in what is now, officially, a spree. (Unofficially). Lidl, to their credit, reacted sympathetically to the news. https://twitter.com/lidl_ireland/status/976058297651474432 Investigations are ongoing and the Hamburglar's current whereabouts are unknown.
