Can anyone explain to me why someone would break into a car and steal the airbag from the steering wheel?? I would understand it if they had tried to drive the car away and needed to remove certain parts of the steering column but they took the actual bag?? Confused!

Oh,I can beat that,a break down call in driving rain,no wipers,please help,he got the bus,

so off I go,Renau;t so I.m thinking wiring,open the bonnet and.......moment of confusion..where's the wiper assembly?well there wasn't one,some "person" had nicked it,no damage,bonnet was closed and wiper arms had been positioned as if nothing was wrong.

As has been said,they neede it and didn't want to pay.
