Does something smell rotten here?

Happened locally here very recently. Guy bought a brand new 25hp Yammi 4 stroke for his skiff. Within two days, the motor was stolen. Within another two days, it was posted for sale on craigslist for very short money.
Suspecting it was his motor, the owner contacted the seller to meet for a buy. Meanwhile, he contacted the local PD who went to the meeting site undercover. The arrest was made, and the owner got his motor back. It was an inside job of a young employee at the marina that told his friends about it.
