Then why do all the damage to the electrics?

Because that's what ****y scrotes do. It's why slow castration with a
serrated spoon dipped in phenolic acid is still too good for them.

Many years ago, a customer had his big ****-off diesel battery stolen
from his van. The ****s had *cut* the big power cable (which must have
taken longer than it would to have loosened the screw and slipped it
off), but they still had to bring the right set of tools to loosen the
13mm *clamps* that held it in.

Do you know how much a Diesel starter rated power cable costs ?

no

The manufacturer price was £300 from memory.

A lot of the rarer spare parts were priced according to demand, not cost
of manufacture.

you also have to consider the cost of storage and the cost of tied up
capital. Dennis, the Fire Engine makers, went bust keeping spares for their
products.
