[Mgs] Lots of MG stuff stolen

[Larry Daniels]

Couldn't agree with you more, Max.

After they buy it from the thief, they turn around and resell it to somebody 
else who also turns a blind eye.  Lots of crooks involved in this 
business -- and nobody can claim they didn't know any better.

Such unbelievable ignorance and barbarism... You'd think even a lowlife
crook would realize that vintage car parts are worth more as parts than as
scrap.

The blame for the recent surge in metal theft has to go squarely on the
scrap dealers. I mean, if someone shows up in a contractor's truck, with a
load of brand new copper pipe still in the manufacturer's bundles, it
doesn't take a detective to realize it is NOT scrap, but stolen from a job
site by an employee (not to mention when they show up with a bronze statue
of a Civil War general, or a load of grave markers). Moreover, the thieves
should realize that the prices they are getting from the scrap dealers are a
ripoff -- obviously, the scrappers are making a huge profit margin, or they
wouldn't be willing to act as fences. Bah.
