Plot[]
OK this is the story: Two mooks had just stolen a car and needed to get rid of it, so they went to the neighborhood chop shop to look for the best price, they had to talk to Sal, whoever said there was honor among thieves, never met to that rat bastard, Sal checked the car and discovered that the engine was great, he lied to the thugs and told them he was giving them $50 and they complained that it was only $50, Sal told them it was $50, take it or have it. leave, they accepted, they left and Sal smiled unpleasantly at his successful crime.
Miguel Porras: Over the last several years, the rate of stolen vehicles per year has been about nine hundred thousand, you're talking about 6.4 billion dollars per year... in stolen vehicles and parks.
Sal ripped them off good, the car was a junker but the engine was a jewel, a 550 horsepower crate engine with modified aluminum headers, he could get $600 easily, he insulted the thugs and laughed.
Chop shop Sal began to chopping, besides ripping off other criminals, Sal had another talent, with his trusty acetylene torch he could turn a car into pieces in minutes, removing an engine from a pile of scrap metal was simple, but even chop shops have to deal with the realities of global economy: The engine was from the United States, but the chain that held it... was from China, the chain broke and the 800 pound engine fell on Sal's chest, he started bleeding, screaming and died.
Dr. Bal Raj: With 700 pounds landing on someone's chest, this severe blunt force would cause our ribs to fracture, our heart and lungs be squashed, it would even cause our eyes to pop out. As well as significant internal bleeding and immediate death.
Sending this scoundrel to Hell where he would never deceive anyone again.
Narrator: Sal was a bottom-feeding crook who liked to jerk people's chains. But in this one-man chop shop, Sal found out the hard way. He was his own... weak link.

Trivia[]
- According to Robert Rexx, most of his footage and dialogue was cut out.
- This death is inspired by the death of a robber in Sydney, Australia in 1990.
- The thief saw an old truck parked in front of a glass recycling facility and decided to steal the truck's engine. To carry out the theft, the thief removed parts from below so that gravity would cause the engine to fall out. He slid under the truck, loosened the bolts and the engine fell... the problem was that the thief was still underneath when the transmission fell out and landed on his head. Workers at the recycling plant found him the next morning and to make his death even worse, the workers told police that the beat-up old truck wasn't worth anything and they would have given it all to them for free.
