Seems this is primarily happening in Europe right now based on the license plates of these cars - but this made me sick to my stomach. Reminds me of the thirst scumbags have for our tail lights - only much, much messier than a punch through the tailgate handle. A sawzall... rough way to go.

The resale value seems to be around $8500. Each.

Corporate drone. Dilbert's world is alive & well.
One bright side.... maybe the POS's will be so focused on the big money cars that they ignore Ranger tail lights! :like:

I think the problem here is that Germany hasn't imported enough migrants. If they let much more in I'm sure all the crime will decrease.

It's weird because they usually have really good ideas, like banning the 2nd most popular political party and shutting down all your nuclear plants cause one got cracked by an earthquake in Japan. I dunno why they haven't figured this one out.

WTF? Great way to go off topic in a really weird way.

These "thieves" are all moroccans fyi.

I guess I could've made an on topic joke about how no one will steal the runny egg headlights from the 996 porsches instead but eh. (You'd have to pay the thieves to take them.)

Who parks a car like that in the street ? That has to make noise, getting them out like that ...
It's Europe, where else you gonna park a car? If they have their method down probably only takes minutes. Like cat theft in the US, seconds probably.

I know that you mean catalytic converters, but the first image that popped into my head was something like this:

and then I started picturing a police line-up with a bunch of suspects covered in scratches.
