He’s been framed.

Let me guess, you are allergic to mustard and sneezed

Most likely a crackhead or a K2 addict.

The first job I had was at a radio station where the transmitter was on property leased from the county. There was the county jail nearby. One night, while I was working at the transmitter, a prisoner walked in. Turned out he was a trusty who guarded the road maintenance vehicles that were also on the county property, and broke into our building to use the phone on a regular basis. Among the stories he told me was about having a large gasoline powered air compressor and several impact wrenches to totally strip a car like the one above. We got to be pretty good friends, and he decided that working for a living was better than stealing for one, and went straight after he was released from prison.

Happens in NYC all the time: in broad daylight on a major highway.

As that looks like a ladder chassis it likely was quite an old car or a truck
