You're right on that, Mike. We've had several large wrecking yards closed down and wiped clean in the past 10 years around KC, one a very active internet based used parts dealer (I35 Salvage). They bring in a portable crusher, a few flatbed trucks and systematically go through the yard crushing everything in sight, regardless of rarity - scrap is scrap, and the yards are considered to be "an eyesore" by many who don't understand the value of keeping old things running.

All of the big yards in my area, same as with Roger. They bring in a couple of huge crushers and in a few days, cleared out and either gone forever or ready for the next batch of treasures. My wife and I were out wandering today for other reasons and three of the mom and pop yards I used to frequent are now empty fields. There is still one left, but he has gotten so expensive for 'junk', I can about pay for new if I add my gas plus clean 'n' paint time and cost - but he does still have a few 'relics' of the past in a special area but $$$$$$
