Most thieves are drug addicts (at least around here), and will take anything they can turn into cash. New houses have been stripped of plumbing before the buyers can move in. Churches have had their copper roofs stripped. A hundred-year-old bronze bell weighing several hundred pounds was stolen and broken up for scrap.
I had a number of tools stolen a few years back. The dummies were too lazy to go out of town to sell them; I found them the next day at a second-hand tool store. I thought the sheriff's department had a solid case against the thieves, given that the store had made a copy of one of their driver's licenses. But the DA was too busy prosecuting high-profile cases to be bothered with a mere burglary.
Many years ago I had my briefcase stolen. The thieves ditched it a couple of miles away. Apparently they expected to find a gun. Now this was a Zero Halliburton case worth around 300 bucks. I also had my passport and checkbook in it. The only thing they took was a $20 calculator. But it cost me 200 bucks to replace the window they busted out of my pickup truck. (This was in Los Angeles, by the way, in case anyone thinks Michigan has a monopoly on stupid criminals.)
