^^ I think the rogue was used as a trade for a car which would blend in, complete with legal license plates.
Something like an old police cruiser ( Crown vic) with low miles. To a chop shop the Rogue would easily be worth such a car plus some cash.
nearby city recently auctioned off their fleet thru sealed bids. I know a person who scored 2 police cruisers, all white, with less than 100k miles for 200.00. For both of them.
The city I work for recently auctioned ours off for cash in hand. I'm trying to get my hands on a list of the buyers.
