The fact that they're stealing items which have a relatively low black market value indicates that these are not "professional" thieves. Professionals don't steal pieces of cars - they take the entire car. Pro's don't look for a $300 - $400 payoff. A completely chopped X5 would likely bring upwards of $20,000.

The fact that they know exactly what they're doing is irrelevant - kids are smart too. They've just refined their technique.

None of this is to minimize your problems. Just don't give these a**es more credit than they deserve.
