Don't forget it's Atlanta metro, there's a whole racing civilization living there that exists totally outside the one we live in. I call it the cash and carry crowd. 50 thousand dollar motors and cars are regularly bought with bags of 10's and 20's. track bets are made of similar and higher amounts as well, all paid in small bills. I'm sure that crowd would have no misgivings about a stolen part, unless of course it were stolen from them.

When I road raced motorcycles in Ga the authorities started forcing tracks to require vin numbers and proof of ownership in tech. Attendance by the aforementioned crowd dropped to nothing in very short order, as you might imagine. Atlanta to me was Gotham city with no batman.
