Several years ago, my grandmother fell for a variation of the Publishers Clearing House scam. After she had sent the thieves a sum roughly equivalent to this heist, she told my dad, who alerted the police. From talking with them, the sentiment he got was that if they got any leads, they would follow them, but on their priority list, it wasn't very high up. I hope the best for this owner, but hopefully he's got insurance to cover this.
