    You betcha

    I finally tracked done some good front replacement seats for my VX and even ordered them. That evening someone broke into the salvage yard and stole seats and the roof rack which I also was going to get. Thereby no seats and no rack. Not as bad as your situation but when people start stealing car parts from a junkyard thats desperate.

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    That's crazy, you have to believe the thief owns a VX, how else would he know those 10 year old parts are so desirable? But of course I'm reminded of when Maximas suddenly sky-rocketed to the top of the most stolen cars list. It took some research before they discovered that the '02+ forward models (IIRC) had bi-xenon lights in the exact same enclosure as the '01 and previous years such that they were literally plug and play. Nissan had the bi-xenon headlights listed for like $900 each and there were no aftermarket options back then, so obviously they became extremely hot on the black market.

    Maybe someone has just been watching eBay auctions? If so that's a pretty sophisticated thief.
