Queen Anne's dealership struck twice; $40K worth of parts stolen

Rear-facing car cameras are becoming the newest hot commodity on the black market, in the same way air bags and catalytic covers continue to be.

"We came out one morning just like any other day and realized that we had three trucks missing tailgates again," David Wilson Jr., vice president of Preston Automotive Group, said.

The Queen Anne’s County based dealership has been struck at least twice now.

Around Christmas, three more trucks were stripped of the valuable camera.

Sad commentary on the society we live in. People are becoming more and more desperate to find money for drugs and other bad habits such as eating. 2015 may be the year we as a country need to take stock of what we have become and realize the problem is much more pervasive than originally thought.

Did the manufacturer think the cameras would not be stolen? Should have designed a system that would not be so easy to walk away with...

These cameras need software specific controllers to function correctly so the thieves wasted their time and effort
