i guess that's the price of living in the Big Apple.
everyone wants a bite of the good life.

this can be a deterrent.

The mirrors can be turned in toward the car. It should be able to lock into place like that and only be able to be released from the inside with the car on.
They can be pulled out still. This way someone who pulls on it not knowing that they're not powered won't break the whole thing.

Be sure and report this to your local police. Some local police departments have sting operations for car theft and parts theft because getting those guys off the street has a very positive effect on crime. The RX mirrors are the perfect bait for a sting program. If nothing more, it will alert them to the problem.

If you find these on Craigslist they are probably stolen items, no one is going to have these laying around unless they were stolen.
