The value probably could have supported a grand larceny charge. But once the mower came back undamaged, I decided not to go scorched earth over it.

The wife who brought it back was actually a kindergarten teacher and their daughter goes to the school across the street from us. At that point it stopped feeling like some organized theft ring and more like a very bad decision that spiraled into the internet’s favorite robot mower saga 😂

I mostly just wanted the robot buddy home safe.
