Chances of being caught are actually not as high as you'd think - stolen cars are often not sold as a whole, but rather fenced to shady mechanics who will strip it down and sell the parts individually, without association with the original license plate or VIN.
- gregpilling 11y agothey don't have to be a mechanic. anyone with a cheap set of tools and an ebay account can be selling 'used' parts all day long.
