For the same reason anyone would steal anything, because they are too lazy to get their asses off the couch to get a job and make enough money to have it themselves.

Also, I don't you know if you noticed this, but whenever you have a nice car, people tend to screw with it. Maxima's are nice cars, nice cars attract car theives, car part theives

From CNN MoneyLine: Headlights attract thieves

The Maxima's fancy high intensity headlights similarly attract the attention of thieves, according to the study.


"Investigators tell us the headlights are often stolen because they fit into earlier Maximas that were sold without such equipment," said Hazelbaker.

The 2002 and 2003 Maximas, which had the high-intensity lights, had 15.8 theft claims and 20.4 theft claims per 1,000 vehicles, while the 2001 models, which did not have those lights, had an industry-average 2.5 theft claims per 1,000.

Hazelbaker said a redesign of the 2004 Maxima may limit theft because the new lights no longer fit into the earlier models.
