Default How junk yard dogs remove a starter from a XJ40

So I am currently spending a little time in a local junk yard in an effort to remove a cylinder head from a 1993 XJ6 that is sitting in the yard for quite a few years.
When I first looked at it I found that the intake manifold had the back third of the intake and fuel rail totally broken up,
Today I found out why this car is like this. Apparently if the junk yard dogs who work there decide it's too difficult to get to the starter they do this.
I just have to believe this took more effort than actually removing the intake manifold.

Destroyed intake manifold

They don't want to get their clothes dirty by crawling under the car Yup, I see this all the time in metro Detroit. It's particularly maddening when they just rip off interior trim that you just happen to need.
