During the first part of this century there was a business in NYC called Airbag King.

If your vehicle's crash bag(s) were stolen, Airbag King offered replacement crash bags for your exact vehicle requirements at a reduced price from what the dealerships were charging.

Airbag King was a fence for vehicle crash bags stolen from around the country. Over time, Airbag King had select “vendors/suppliers” they could count on for orders for various vehicles with quick order fulfillment.

Airbag King would place orders from their “suppliers” who would then go out and steal the exact product needed.

Many people who purchased from Airbag King would end up purchasing back their own crash bad(s) that was stolen.

The company was finally busted by the FIB as were their “vendor/suppliers” and the nation wide epidemic of vehicle crash bag thefts was greatly reduced to occasional occurrence.
