Car thieves normally target the whole car when stealing your ride.

This one apparently only needed a particular part, according to a Beaufort County Sheriff's Office report.

A woman was driving her grandfather's 2006 Volkswagen Beetle on Monday when she parked at Hilton Head's Islanders Beach Park on Folly Field Road at about 3 p.m., the report said.

She left about an hour later. When she got home, she realized the right-side headlight assembly was missing, the report said.

The area where the car was parked was not covered by surveillance cameras, the report said.
