They didn't purposely allow the water to get to the machine.Man I got a bit angry reading that they let water get to the cabs after like 30 years of them being safe from the elements...
Looking at the photos some of those cabs look damn near new... So it's really dumb that after 30 years some of them got water damage right at the last moment.

Thieves had stolen the brass window frames allowing the rain to get in. The cabs were then moved to a safer place until they got the go ahead from the seller to take the cabs.

Yeah I realize that but if they had done the deal when they initially raided and moved them out within a few weeks it would have been fine. The window frame stuff didn't happen until months after the initial viewing.
And of course, they didn't answer the key questions of interest.....
1. What is the list of games recovered ?
2. What was the average price per game (including purchase and crane/etc costs) ?
What a raid !
These games saw year after year of summers and winters through the port holes, the sun rising, the sun setting, FOR THIRTY YEARS. They were just sitting there, unsure of their fate, wondering if they would be rescued, wondering if they would ever be played again.

I thought I was losing my mind...this story was popping up all over the place, and I was SURE I'd seen it a few years ago.
