Friends, Back in May I posted a thread about approaching an owner of a 79 Aspen 4 door to see if he would sell. The grille and plastic (lights, taillamps, trim, bumpers were in VGC. The frame was going. I saw a local crime blog a few days ago "79 green Dodge Aspen 4 door stolen in Deptford" Apparently a straw sale: No title/ keys - scrap metal scavenger sale by someone other than the owner.
Folks - money is tight with all of us- I get that and most do. However, these scrap collectors are getting way too aggressive. They steal all kinds of metal - not just "some old clunker". Handicap wheel chairs, kids toys, memorials; nothing is sacred.
So I can only imagine the plastic - good plastic on that Aspen was smashed and ripped up to get the metal carcass prepped for weighing at some scrap yard.
Plus, the guy is out his car and I never got to talk to him to see if he would sell. Perhaps, I could have prevented this if I was not fart'n around.
