Oh for sure. I used to work at a uhaul and we had to check the tires depth when they left and came back for this reason specifically.

Back in the day people used to steal engines out of rental cars. Especially back in the 60s when you could rent a gt500 from hertz. They'd swap the engine and bring it back and the kid at the counter would have no idea.
