I saw a video clip one time where a car thief was being interviewed. He said if people didn’t expect their cars to be stolen, they wouldn’t just leave them sitting around all over the place.
That’s about as bald-faced an attempt to justify a stupid action as you can get, outside of stealing a car so you can throw it away to win prize money. They might argue that they were cutting down on littering and pollution all in one action, and saving the owner the time and trouble from having to do it himself.
Or something else just as infuriatingly stupid.
“ANYTHING WE CAN GET AWAY WITH IS LEGAL!!!”
You ain’t right, but you ain’t wrong either.
Ancient story from Reader’s Digest about first seeing someone empty their car ashtray onto the ground at a gas station. Followed by a lady hustling out of the office, sweeping up the ashes, and dumping them back into the car!
Now that’s Karma.
If they could make sure these would only trigger for burglars:

I don’t care who you are….that’s phunny
Oh trust me, kids putting rocks in their aluminum cans so they weigh more… and on up. Still, nice way to get the place cleaned off….
And it would be the perfect time to find all the empty plastic soda and water bottles for the last-chance-floaty-regatta…
The things I have heard criminals say.
Nice try, Fiat Fellas… Nice try…
$2000 is cheaper than hiring a clean-up crew. Whether he’s telling the truth or not, it works and will be quicker than the clean-up crew would have been. Good thinking Greg.
It’s a perfect solution for all the reasons you just mentioned. Everybody wins! (Except maybe the Fiat owner.)
About 15-20 years ago, in a major urban, a super-Wally, near the garden center end of the lot… some Yugo owners started parking together. Two red ones and a white one. Remember when they were all the rage, cheap as anything but they ran… sorta, for a while. (they would spray everything the same color for that production week then clean all the paint equipment and switch colors, etc). About then some college I think New York, they bought two dozen Yugo’s, nothing over $150 and some still ran, and gave them to their senior art majors to turn into something. Really amazing what they did. Now that poor Fiat, surely it ranks better than that fate? Yeah?
It’s the sporty Italian equivalent of the Yugo IMO. Turning Yugos into an art project is the best thing that ever happened to them.
What, everything goes in the trash? What about recyclables?
Sorted at the plant.
