I think someone would notice if several thousand pallets were being stolen from his business.

The red and blue pallets specifically are owned by just two companies. The pine pallets are stolen from local shopping centres etc.
And for them being red and blue, I think it is obvious why those colours would be purchased.
They sure didn't buy all those pallets.
They should be raising the money voluntarily and collecting donations without coercion. Otherwise they aren’t helping their cause.
You can believe that an event mostly orchestrated by paramilitary gangs is above board if you wish, but I know first hand that many of these palettes are stolen.
