Weird news comes to us of third-row theft. Yes thats right, some king grease scumsuckers are roaming around and stealing the 3rd row bench out of large SUVs.

The trend seems to be mainly focused on Full size Chevys like Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Escalade. No reports on QX80, but be aware regardless.

Theft of third-row SUV seats on the rise? [w/video] - Autoblog

Wow, well I guess one of the preventative things you can do is to park with your tail gate very close to a wall. Being parked like that it will take them forever to get the 3rd row seat out. It's enough to discourage them and to have them move onto the next 3rd row equipped SUV

sort of like protecting your speaker system, theres also 3rd row locks you can pick up..

Why would people even want those? Can you use it as a seat when its not in the car, or are they just selling them somewhere?

maybe there is a clan out there who is against 3rd row cars.

they're selling them to people who just had their 3rd row stolen!

LOL!

So there is a market for the 3rd row seat because people keep stealing them. They then follow by purchasing a used set from someone who just probably stole it from another car

What a marketing plan!

just imagine that, someone could have stole your seat, only for you to go out to buy a used one that could be yours....that would be funny

or maybe the third row seat is secretly made of horse hide and wrapped around euro foam and bolted into a gold plated frame.

Do people really buy used third row seats? What do they do with them? Put them in their car? In that case, why does that person not have a third row of seats right now? Are people just sticking them in their living room or something?

lets try this again, people who have had their third rows stolen are the ones in the market for third rows. They might not have a third row because it was stolen.

The thieves are simply creating their own demand.

That or were seeing a big trend to hilbillify
