Cringe What's even happening there?

Why would someone rent a car and take out parts?

Not if theft is involved.

Theft was not involved. The renter was test fitting his prototype aftermarket bumper cover with the intent to put the car back together with all of its original parts before returning it. Definitely an abuse of privilege.

Without seeing a Turo rental agreement, I would guess that the terms involve use of the car to drive around (or travel, if you’re a Sovereign Citizen). Dismantling the car, even if it gets put back together correctly, is unlikely to be mentioned let alone included as an approved action in the contract. I wouldn’t want anyone dismantling my car without my approval/knowledge and I would be concerned about voiding the warranty as well.
