No. Well, not most of us. LOL.
Where is the correlation between crushing the cars & the stolen parts? How does that hurt the guys stealing & selling parts? Do they really think this is a deterrent to guys looking to buy used parts? They might not have even known they were stolen. Do you check the pedigree of all the used parts you buy? I certainly don’t. I don’t see why the parts being stolen or not should impact the outcome.
Do they crush guns used in robberies? Just stolen guns?
I'll ask again.

Technically, the stolen parts are not owned by the ‘street racer’ in question. They belong to the rightful owner, the person or insurance company that holds the title. There could be some rights being trampled on there. Not surprising in California.
Did they say if they were hunting down the group/people that sells the stolen engines? I’m sure the street race punks gave up their suppliers ASAP.

What are they punishing, street racing or theft? I agree with BMR, the punishment does not fit the crime – it makes no logical sense. And I'm not soft on street racing. I think actual street racers (not fast cars in general) shoud be punished.
