I add that to the clutch they let run dry which would've burned out its throw-out bearing in a year or two even if they'd have filled it. More importantly, I'd add it to the throttle linkage they pinched (because WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD I HAVE ANY REASON TO TOUCH THE STUPID THING?! Only someone removing the entire engine--like, I don't know...to reseal the oil pan--would need to undo the throttle cable). Both the steering and throttle could've been fatal either to the car or, more importantly, for me.
At this point, it's more depressing than infuriating. Can't trust anyone, it seems.
