I work at a GM dealer and when we take ones off for replacement, regardless if they are gutted or not, they bring really good prices from the local JY or people who buy them and resell them to metal companies.

One of the guys over at the help desk where I work had his stolen off his Ram last summer.

I remember hearing on the news how a group was going around stealing them in the Baltimore area at that time. This is the first I've heard it since.

Some scumbag stole 4 centerline Billet wheels, 2 TC space saver aluminum wheels and my NOS bottle (with line and gauge) out of my storage unit last Sept.  Wish the A. Hole would have took all my Cat. Convertors instead!!

Yeah, a lot of JYs won't tell you about things like that.

tip- Always get the name of the JY employee that gives you an accessment of what the JY will sell something for. You might get to the cashier and find they want more, especially close to closing time!  :evilgrin:
