Also, it was parked facing the wrong way on a well traveled street adjacent to downtown...not the best neighborhood but also not the worst. Plenty of LAPD cruisers would drive past it in the course of an hour. It must have been stripped elsewhere and dropped there from a flatbed tow truck but then why the pallet and other support under it? 
Truly strange sight. Stripped clean and it was there for multiple days.

That's what they do. Find a car they need, follow it home, steal it, strip the parts they need and dump it somewhere.
Happened to a friend of mine with a fairly rare, restored mid-50's Chevy. Some ******* needed parts for a similar restoration that were unobtainable, so he stole my buddy's car and took the parts he needed. If I ever find the ******* responsible, you'll be proud of me.
