I’m buying this right now, this is how a lot of car theft works also - parts are a good source of cash.

Especially catalytic converters. Can be stolen from an unprotected (i.e. no massive baseplate) car in below 30 seconds, and nets you about 1000$ a piece from junkyards willing to ignore the sawzall marks.
