A daughter's Prius cat (which has substantially more precious metals than any other cat) was stolen in a large center where she managed a Barnes and Noble. Daytime hours. $2,500 to replace, of which AAA paid $2,000. A week after the replacement, it was stolen AGAIN, in her driveway in Sacramento Ca. She gave up on the car, letting AAA pay her off.
I gave my 2007 Prius to a grand daughter in Phoenix. Two weeks later....YEP...Cat stolen in her apartment complex. My AAA insurance paid to replace that one. I installed a shield over it this time, at a cost of $300. They would need a grinder to get it this time.
Prius are the biggest targets here in California. But, recently, they have started going after other vehicles.
Gold is at $1,800/oz, Platinum $1,030/oz, Palladium $2,165/oz, Rhodium $16,800/oz.
Crime pays, I guess. I don't know how much Rhodium a cat uses, but......
