I heard a tale decades ago, Monte Shelton's shop got burglarized. $$$$ in snap on stuff stolen. One of the mechanics was a Vietnam Vet trained in interrogation...they caught one of the kids dumb enough to try again later. After some "questioning", the tools came back home.
Also, I remember hearing a new rattle in my old Dodge pickup..bugged me for a couple of days, so I bothered to crawl underneath. Found a 3/8" drive snap-on ratchet, a short extension, a 9/16" socket on a frame rail. Steve, the local wrench, grinned from ear to ear when I took it back to him.
"You don't know how long I've been looking for that."... I'm pretty sure I got on his "good customer" list after that.
