What does the term 'stripped' refer to in vehicle terminology?

A vehicle that has been dismantled for parts
A vehicle that is illegally parked
A vehicle that is damaged
A vehicle that is impounded

The correct answer is: A vehicle that has been dismantled for parts

The term 'stripped' in vehicle terminology specifically refers to a vehicle that has been dismantled for parts. This term is commonly used in the context of stolen vehicles, where individuals may remove usable parts, leaving the remainder of the car essentially useless or non-functional. Stripping a vehicle can also indicate that it has been completely taken apart, often as a means of selling valuable components separately. This understanding is crucial for police dispatchers to effectively assess situations involving abandoned or suspected stolen vehicles, as well as to help coordinate the appropriate response from law enforcement. The other terms refer to different statuses of vehicles and do not convey the specific notion of dismantling a vehicle for parts.
