Why did they steal on Saturday?
Saturdays often present an opportune time for large-scale thefts due to reduced staffing levels and fewer people on site at warehouses and wineries. This allows criminals more time and less chance of immediate detection, as seen with the masked men deactivating alarms and cameras at Marchesi Antinori.
