The Return of The Hybrid Battery Thieves

did they come back from london?

 

London it's the CAT burglars.

 

oh yeah, i keep getting my criminals mixed up

 

I just learned how to spell burglars. I've always said burgalurs, but apparently that's one syllable too many??

Both for the CAT's and the hybrid batteries (likely a lot more so for the latter), the thieve's reward is dwarfed by the damage to the car, to get it repaired properly.

 

Apparently you can get in a Gen4 without breaking glass or using a slim Jim. People in CA stealing hybrid batteries.

Woman says thieves stole 180-pound Prius battery valued at $10K in San Francisco - Story | KTVU

 

You didn't see the smashed glass particles all over the floor?

This is weird, because I saw the same lady, doing an interview outside with the car, where it showed broken glass inside the car and they reported it would be $8000 to fix because they cut the cables. Now it's a 10k battery and 15k to fix......

Now I see, the broken glass photos were from news reports in 2015 that were embedded into this new report....Guess I'm off my game today......

 

$10k for a Prius battery? In that case, the one in my Prime is worth more than I paid for the car. Any buyers?

 

yep, cutting the cables adds a $7,000. wiring harness?

 

Huh?

 

Kinda like spelling Angler.

You got that pretty well covered.

In an obtuse way.
