Like most criminal acts, the loser starts with petty offenses. A QR spring rolls off into the 4th dimension; lost. A replacement spring is innocently "borrowed" from a happy complete QR. Pretty soon a headset locking nut is robbed, and after that it's familiar path to hell.
Not much worse than going to install a headset for a customer Friday afternoon and the crown race isn’t in the box!
