I’m always amazed by the amount of 3rd row seat thefts. Is there really that big of a black market for them? I can’t recall ever hearing of anyone mentioning they needed to replace their 3rd row seat because they lost it or it broke. So who is buying these stolen 3rd row seats and for what reason? I mean outside of people replacing their stolen seat of course.
