Stealing car batteries
Posted: Sun Jul 07, 2019 6:29 pm
Car batteries are something everyone needs at some point, and they aren't really vehicle specific by any means.
Good places to hit:
-Low budget public works shops. They usually have a fleet of common GM or Ford vehicles, and car batteries are light enough that depending on the area you might be able to get, like, 6 into a wagon so even if there's cameras there's no vehicle description.
-Crooked used car lots. Don't hit the nicer cars, go straight to the cheap part of the lot. 9 times out of 10 there's no cameras, and a lot of dealers will leave them unlocked so they don't have to waste time showing them to people. Just because it's a 88 Buick doesn't mean it won't have a 2018 battery in it
-Recycling centers. If you're willing to do a little B&E and can be quick there could be dozens of batteries at a vehicle recycling center.
Now I know you're wondering "Why would I want car batteries?" Well, a used battery is worth $25-35 a piece. I've seen them go as high as $100 if it's really expensive new. They don't take up a lot of space, they aren't heavy, and every car takes a battery. You could steal 6 of them in one night, and sell them later on for a cool $300 if you're a good salesman. During the winter months you can charge $75 for a good battery.
