RE: [DML] DMC Grill Emblem on EBAY!?

["Gus Schlachter" <gus@xxxx>]

I think it is wrong to sell stolen auto parts. If people knew how much
front-left fenders were worth, they'd probably disappear right off the cars.
(Then again...most people think that my car cost $100,000.)

I would venture to guess that most auto parts theft is by

a) idiot vandals looking to pawn a radio, or
b) professional thieves.

In the a) case, that is always a potential problem, although I think most
grill emblems would be taken as a souvenir rather than a source of income.
And the pros know they can make more money parting out an Accord than a
Delorean.

I am always concerned about careless gawkers or thoughtless vandals when I
leave my D in public, but I doubt either is impacted by the potential bounty
on the parts.
