Only a stray musing... but if they go under, do you think car thefts will go through the roof? Think about it. Crime in general always rises sharply in bad economic times. As well, people will be looking to repair rather than buy new as money is tight. But many parts makers may go under, and there will be a shortage. So a lot of people will need hard to find parts which will make them expensive. What better than steal and chop domestic cars then? Also, so many desperate, out of work auto workers... who better to know how to steal and chop a car than those who build them? Plus think of the black market as people who need their domestic car repaired just can't afford it done through proper channels or sources.
Like I said, just a stray musing.
