Theft of third-row SUV seats on the rise? (video)

Thefts of third-row seats are on the rise, according to a report by KABC-TV 7, a trend highlighted by the recent burglary of third-row seats from 16 sport utility vehicles at a Chevrolet dealership in Simi Valley, California. According to the Los Angeles ABC affiliate, thieves stole the seats in the dead of night after disabling the lot's light posts and breaking into the vehicles through their rear windows. At that point, a couple of simple latches securing each third row of seats to the interiors were all that stood between the thieves and what is estimated to be about $48,000 in stolen goods.
