City officials are rolling out a bold new ordinance to crack down on the black market by punishing businesses that resell stolen airbags, aiming to cut off the profit motive driving this surge. Victims are frustrated by slow police response and demand more than just replacement parts—they want a real assault on the criminal networks behind these thefts. Comparing it to the catalytic converter crisis, lawmakers hope this “first step” will deter thieves and restore safety and peace of mind. In the meantime, drivers are urged to install steering wheel locks and keep alarms active to stay ahead of the thieves. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
