The later 2nd gen Trans Ams and the hideaway GTO crowd may be more noticed and have plenty of valuable stuff to rip off, but this is a most unusual piece to steal and it's most likely not your usual smash and grab jobber.

Cops are going to be useless. It's a "victimless crime" that we are conditioned to accept as the price we pay for our society - that stuff gets stolen and it's somehow our fault that other people can't keep their hands to themselves, that we should have known and protected it better. When I got my dual snorkel air cleaner and shaker walked off with or my VIN plates pried off my car, the cops told me it wasn't worth their trouble to investigate because no one was dead and how did they know I wasn't scamming them by faking it?

I quit calling the cops.....
