- Terr_ 1y agoRight, and even un-sexy and inexpensive vehicles get targeted these days, because they can be used as tools to commit other crimes, not just a commodity to be resold or scavenged.
- charcircuit 1y agoA stolen car being a tool is why it is a commodity to be resold.
- Terr_ 1y agoYou're confusing "a commodity to the thief, perhaps someday a tool to to whoever receives stolen goods" versus "a tool to the thief." The first is used in daily commutes, the second is used once as a battering-ram/getaway car before being abandoned in a ditch.
- themafia 1y agoThe thing I did not expect is that most of these criminals will gladly connect their phone to the cars entertainment system so they can play their music while they do this. They can then brag about the number of thefts they've engaged in by the number of Kia vehicles listed in their phones bluetooth connection list. The surprise is that the police don't seem to understand how to incorporate these facts into their tactics.
