Thieves use bulldozers to steal $2.3 million from armored van on highway

@Brainspore

a mid-size excavator can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars so if you’re going to run a heist like this you probably don’t want to use your own equipment

But these cost very little in all probability given that …

Caterpillar padlocks all use the same key

@Flanker7

fwiw, all their heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, etc) are keyed alike as well. It’s actualky an industry std, so I guess that’s why the padlocks are too.
