I suspect the would-be thieves weren't the brightest crayons in the box.

I can tell you for sure they weren't, they didn't fire up the cab forward.

I think THAT is putting it mildly! Besides, "The Spike" isn't even on display, except for normal viewing hours (something like 10:00 AM thru 5:00 PM), and even then it is behind 1 inch thick totally "bullet proof" clear material for viewing. When not in view, "The Spike" is housed in the rear portion of that vault, surrounded by full armor plate! Thus, there was no way the idiot/idiots could "hammer" their way into the container which holds "The Spike".
