It wasn't lucky. That's the whole point. Juda and his buddies were raiding some poor sod, an pulled a bunch of chests off the claim. Someone, who could be a random stranger, could be the owner trying to grab a few things with an alt, whatever, took some things from one of the chests. Those things were recently stolen and therefore trackable. So, they tracked him down and killed him. They're trying to make it sound intimidating.
