i browse a few classified/auction sites ( as i assume most of you do) and it is painfully obvious that i didn't realize there is a 914 Ashtray thief out there.

and the worst part is he is driving up the cost of said ashtrays to the point where you might as well buy a complete parts car as the ashtray alone will recoup the cost

what are your thoughts ... has anyone else seen the Ashtray thief?

It's probably due to the fact that they fly out and become dangerous projectiles when you get rear-ended hard (my experience) -- mine bounced off the backpad and flew out the top landing about 15 feet from where I ended up.

Warning: The surgeon General has determined that flying ashtrays can be
hazardous to your health.
