I'm pretty sure engines and transmission have serial numbers that correspond with the VIN number.

Why do you think people that collect old cars are always talking about a "numbers matching" car?

So, instead of giving them back to the owners that reported them stolen, or the insurance companies that had to file the claim, they crush them?

Zavala, who admits he's been involved in street racing, estimates he and his mother spent about $10,000 on improvements to his car.

This isn't about money for the government, this is about sending a clear message and trying to deter people. Sure, I guess they could sell the parts that were worth something, but that takes away from the impact of what they're trying to say. Plus, the liability involved with gov't selling used performance parts is another facet..
