Bogus customer rents cars with bogus ID.

B.c. delivers car to Soprano chop shop. Car chopped.

Rental company loses many cars to Soprano car theft chop shop operation.

Profits collapse.

Dividends disappear.

Shareholders unhappy with stock price collapse demand better methods of security. Thumbprint.
