If they can't hock it, chop it, scrap sell it, it's going in a dumpster or left in a vacant lot somewhere. (They're normally too lazy to put stolen stuff in a dumpsterand fear the time factor of and getting caught illegally dumping - Theft Book 101).
We manage theft damages for a large company with 2500 sites across the US where my client stores large spools of fiber optic cable in their secure yards. The crack heads think those spools are copper or aluminum andbreak into steal it. I get 15 calls a night for forced entry.
Trouble IS, the idiots, once discovering they busted in for nothing, will vandalize the property in retaliation. We DOhave a small vindication though. The REALLYREALLYSTUPIDones try digging up the 440v cables going to the building and last year we found 3 of them grinning like a jackass eating cactus dead as a doornail. One electrocuted himself trying to pull wires from a 3 phase box.
DUH.
The ONLYthings locks, alarms, barbed wire, razor ribbon do is keep the honest people out.
Lesson learned, don't leave it in yourvehicle. Used to be they'd break in and steal your belongings. Now they steal the whole vehiclebecause the penalty is the same and they can drive away in luxury.
You probably know you can kiss those parts goodbye.Sorry.
