For that matter the junkyard I go to has gotten smart, if they get something in like a Miata, 240, 4Runner, it goes right to the "reserved" lot where you can only request specific parts, you can't just go buckwild pulling everything of value. I saw a post recently on one of the FB groups where someone who works for a junkyard documented an S13 hitting the lot, people know it was coming, when the yard opened it was like piranhas skeletonizing a cow, haha.

similar here. there was a z32 that hit the wilmington yard last week. had a twinz rear bumper and greddy front bumper, momo steering wheel, aftermarket radiator, obv z brakes, isis arms. Went "live" at 8am (photos updated on the website) and i went on my lunch break, 2 dudes were already balls deep taking everything of value off it. i didn't get shit, but i did get a breedoh from the lunch truck.
