I never thought it would be that easy but my friends car was stolen and then scrapped for the cash . The car being a totally original unmolested mk4 escort with 60k and 3 owners since new in 89. I was one of them owners too.
Ok the idiot who did it has been charged for it (used photo I.D) WTF !!!! and also gave his address .
So essentially anyone can scrap anything they wish with some form of I.D legal or not without any logbook/V5 or any other proof of ownership

what a f**ki*g joke !!!!
