Wow. That's awful for that dealership. My daughter had hers taken off her SUV in a suburb of Minneapolis. The rhodium in them is worth a fortune. Other metals in there too.

That was at the Forest River RV plant itself. Pretty sad that every thief around the country has gotten the same idea lately. If the scrap yards and metal recyclers would just stop buying them, the thefts would stop. Nowhere to sell them. Legit sales should require multiple forms of ID, with at least one with a photo. Just my idea.

Thieves do not sell them as a whole unit. They cut them open and cell the different metals. The metal case can go into a dumpster.

At the shop where I moonlight, someone stole several off of vehicles on the lot. Thankfully, it was for sale vehicles and not customer vehicles.
