Walked outside to see a fucker trying to jiggle my door and ran off when I confronted him. Shits worth $300 and has different color doors. Who’s chopping this shit up? They gotta be selling it to developing countries where they’re worth more. I suppose that’s why beat up cars are more valuable than high end ones because it’s more affordable overseas

Chopping up a car means taking it apart and selling the parts. Doesn't matter if one door is off-color, it's a functional door that's worth money. And older cars' parts are still worth a decent amount. I read years ago that mid-90s Honda Accords were one of the most popular cars for thieves to steal because they were easy and straightforward for chop shops to make a profit on.
