There are laws that make this entirely legal in the states . You park your money in an account and then drop by to take some out and it is all gone . You can do nothing it is absolutely legal . Check into MF global and you will see what I am driving at . the crack head that stole your engine was just using the same ethics .
The thing that gets me is these scrap thieves steal lamp standards and infrastructure that you and I have paid hard dollars for .
i gather in places it is not unusual to have your vehicle stolen just for it's scrap value . PITA .
I used to collect scrap and take it to the metal yard and on the way home buy parts for my vehicles , this was the only way i could justify spending cash on a project vehicle , the money was outside of our normal income . Feels a bit tainted doing the scrap thing these days .
take care
