Well yeah, that's obvious.
But if the thieves were in a rush to nick the drivetrain and they didn't give a shit about the chassis, it's faster for them to clip the wires and hoses than to unplug all the connectors.
No matter what, the chassis almost certainly has a salvage title now.
No matter how much work is invested, the salvage title just kills resale value.
... you might be able to part it out
That might work... but at a 1250 buy-in, you'll probably only break even.
For that chassis, it's time for the scrap yard, IMO.
