Stolen Train & Trailer

My guess is they were going for the trailer and anything inside it was just a bonus.

I'm reminded of a story where a couple had a u-haul trailer parked outside of their hotel for the night.
Woke up to stolen trailer. Cargo? Dead father in a casket!

Not sure what year the Hummer H3 was but it was probably straining to haul that trailer with trains. Most H3's can only tow about 4500 lb. That trailer looks to be about 8-10K rated.

So while they were committing grand larceny, they should have verified their towing capacity!

The little train will be set up at a cartel king pin's ranchero for his kids and if Hummer is a down-sized version it will be given to a Central American law inforcement agency. Vehicles and weapons are among the few bribs alowed without going through national government headquarters. They don't like Military size Hummers because they are too wide for two track roads and many streets.
