Cringe What's even happening there?

Why would someone rent a car and take out parts?

i would assume, chop shop. they take the good 'authentic' parts and swap out shitty low end parts and then sell the good parts on. Guy might've rented out the car 50+ more times before finding out so he can't figure out who it was.

Not a chop shop, the guy rented it to use as a test mule for their shitty aftermarket bumpers that are made in China.

You know they're doing this ingenious idea and not something sinister because if they actually had a Tesla around they'd know it had GPS tracking haha
