- beerandt 5y agoThe gross sum of time spent tracing the origins of scrap will be greater than money lost due to theft. The answer is mitigated risk via insurance and prevention, not a preemptive policing of all privately owned items of value.

- throwaway0a5e 5y agoThe people that do it as a hobby/side gig probably go through 2-25 cars/yr with the people on the higher end doing more scrapping and less individual part selling.
