My deepest condolences, sympathy and prayer to the man who lost his car of 41 years and that he may find it.

Over the last 3 to 4 years scrap metal prices have skyrocketed to levels not seen since the years prior to WWII. And even higher than that. I live about 1/10 mile from Bordeaux Metals here at Taylor Town. The have a website. It's no slouchy operation. Everyday i see attractive cars and trucks going there literaly pushed, pulled and even dragged by Farmalls. I've chased a few of them down trying to buy them. Some of them only need a head gasket. Most are very high mileage tho.

I could go on and on about this but the PROBLEM is that many of these vehicles will bring $300 - $600 as scrap metal and then i'd have to chase a redneck down for the title. I even had one redneck tell me that he didn't have time to drag it across the street to my house and that it would reduce his >2000 pound price tier.

BOTTOM LINE is that ANYTHING made of metal is a target for thieves.
