I see both positives and negatives to this sort of crime.

Would have expected a report like this to come out of DC.

“They are worth 3,400 bucks,” Padilla said. “They’re very expensive.” There are many parts in any car that cost just as much, if not more. A coworker complained once that he was charged more than $1K for a plastic bumper for his import. Besides, the $3,400 is for the new battery under warranty. How much would anyone pay for a used battery, with unknown provenance? How many owners of hybrids are so poor that they have to buy parts from vendors in a dark alley?

See a profit center, a crime will follow. The criminals finally learned of this one. Ha Ha.

A 50 pound battery worth $3400??
This hybrid Camry supposedly gets 43 mpg city, 39 highway. Our SUV gets 25 in the city, 33 highway.
That’s OK, we’ll keep the SUV and be safe and comfortable.

“They are worth 3,400 bucks,” Padilla said. “They’re very expensive.” Your tax dollars at work.
Without Federal mandates and subsidies those batteries would not exist and so could not be stolen.
So in a roundabout way your Federal government is subsidizing crime.

That’s great for an SUV. If you don’t mind sharing, what’s the make and model? Thanks.

I wonder. If the batteries were dead, does that mean the perpetrators will be charged?
To: RFEngineer
Depends on the current law.

Do you suppose they cell them on the black market?
That’s grounds for a theft charge.

$1000 to a repair shop is reasonable.

$1,000 for a hot battery would be an over-charge.
