Audis been broken into and having airbags stolen. How? Why?
Discussion
I'll try posting this again as it didn't work out to well before
Round the local area there has been a spate of damageless break ins specifically to Audis all of which have had the airbags stolen. Last night my neighbours had their a3 done. We had a little run of damageless break ins last year which I put down to people leaving doors unlocked. No specific types of car were targeted although there were a lot done, maybe more than you would think would have been left open.
I understand there is a means of jamming lock signals on cars but where our houses are it would be very obvious if anyone was lurking about at tea time when they got in so it looks like these criminals have a way of getting in.
But why the airbags? Why would people want airbags in such large numbers? It's Wakefield area so any local Audi owners just watch out I guess.

Expensive enough to be ignoring wheels and cats etc? The numbers involved are too high to be supplying for damaged cars too......
They are around £319http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Audi-A4-A6-A8-Q7-Steering-Wh...
(not implying that one is stolen)
A cat can only be scrapped, even the biggest are less than £100 iirc and some don't have the right metals in them.
