This MO is a little like what police found when Trump came to speak at Western Conservative Summit in Denver. Bricks to use as weapons were being stashed in dumpsters all over downtown, presumably to be used against all those conservatives conveniently in one spot. The dumpsters were marked.

Did they put surveillance on the dumpsters and arrest those who tried to retrieve the bricks?
