That's not from theft. The guy just didn't want to disassemble the front end of the car to change the bulbs.

I have a different solution which could involve a cordless hole-puncher.

If you own an early Viper, better park in the garage.

The taillight for my truck retails for $1,100.

I was lucky to even find one. And the dealer in Ohio was good enough to discount it a little.

I think his is 2 years old. Uncle Tony did a video of a new Ford F-150 and the light was about $5300.

A lot of the new lights and mirrors are equipped with ADAS cameras and sensors and are very expensive. It's a brand new racket I'll have no part of.
Eff that chit.

The entire CA Gold Country has gone down the tubes in the last 20 years because of the stuff and the culture that comes with it. Bunch of low-life, lazy, doper criminals. Growing pot, stealing copper wire and lights, cooking meth, stealing catalytic converters, and on and on. I was surprised the light theft was in Germany. I guess termites are everywhere.

Why steal a headlight when you can steal a whole Kia or Hyundai

Because they don't have the special grow-house rated lights to begin with.
