Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

I chatted to a policeman at a bike training course a while back, and he claimed that the bulk of stolen bikes were stripped and sold as parts. I wondered if, like with a bicycle, the total value of a motorbike's parts are more than its value complete.

In which case that would be a double win.

That said bikes tend to suffer more damage than cars. But then again Defenders probably require a constant supply of parts to keep them running. So maybe it balances out.
