I wonder if it was a contractor. I've heard of stealing for other contractors. Or, they "steal" their own tools and report it to insurance.

No mention of immigration status, nor of race in this excerpt. What narrative can we jump on? What good is an article if it doesn’t give us a chance to jump on our favorite object of blame?

That doesn’t look like fifty thousand dollars worth of tools... Overestimating for insurance purposes?
