Ozpin refers to "witnesses seeing robots and rose petals in a dance club some time ago", this struck me as a little strange when I watched the episode so I reviewed Episode 4 and, as I suspected, neither Ruby nor any robot were shown to be in the dance club on that night. I did however spot this:

Is mama Rose keeping tabs on little Yang? My theory is that Ruby later used her Semblance over motion to move the Paladin's bits to the club. Junior knows this guy who deals in grey-market military scrap; he and Yang agreed that he'll keep the proceeds from disposing of the mech's bits to cover the costs of rebuiding after Yang's last visit.

Under-the-table deals like this with grasses and informants is probably quite common practice for Hunters. So long as no laws are explicitly broken, nobody cares much.
