All the exterior bits and pieces are snatched while the car is blocked in by bumper to bumper traffic. They grab it and run down a side street and around the corner. Waiting on the corner is a couple of guys with knives. Happened to my stepsons. There was no time to react. It was all over in a few seconds.
Before they came home they called into one of the small spare parts locales, in the same area. and bought a 2nd hand mirror exactly the same as the one that was stolen.......could have even been their actual original mirror.

The theft of car parts has been going on for years;it's not like a N.American chop shop...these thieves hit fast and steal bits and pieces.They know it costs to much to replace with new and will work the alternative buy back plan.

exactly. Not worth the effort to chase them down and have who know's what happen. Just buy a part again, way easier.

There are a couple of local news videos that show these ladrones in action. I won't post them here because Steve has already posted them on his site. The ladrones are basically homeless people. Most of them look like they have mental illness or are on drugs or both. Mental illness and drugs is a bit like the chicken and the egg.....what came first? Apparently people with mental illness are more prone to addiction and then the drug use destroys what little is left of their brain.
