The metals inside are worth money. It's a criminal organization that does this. They have a place where they can unload the stolen goods for a reduced rate. Metal can't be traced. Some recycler is involved or its employees. They make off the metal at full market value. It happens much more than what you would think. They will travel and hit certain areas then move on .
They stole exhausts off a couple trucks in a fenced locked compound where I work. The thieves are pretty brazen . They steal stuff just to steal sometimes. Stole a brand new Superduty from inside the shop at night. Drove it to another dealer left it there and stole another truck from the locked shop. These are video equipped with monitor systems that police are alerted to as soon as they go off. They don't care . These guys are career criminals.
Probably just a diversion to steal that truck to have police occupied so they could go after what they really wanted.
