    Can't Figure This!?

    Why would someone steal this truck and only strip-out the drive train? ... further, why "break-in" and only take the radio bezel and not any of the rest of the interior? ... how do you take the calipers and not the wheels? ... why would anyone want the stock calipers anyway? ... unless they had been changed out to Brembo?

    Why is the hood reattached after the engine/trans was removed?!! If I was a thief, I wouldn't go to the trouble ... nor would I have ensured that it didn't get scratched!

    We get theft jobs like this in the shop all the time, someone just took what they needed, my guess is for a rebuilder that their putting back togeather, and then left it someplace.
    They prolly did take the wheels too, the seller put some back on it to help it sell.

    Well they sure didn't take their time pulling the motor, look at the cowl and firewall in the open hood pic.
