Of course you don't know, the key there is, and of course I don't mean U, but people generally just pocket Items that small lol. I don't, because I appreciate the service these types of business provide, and want them to flourish. Same reason I don't shoot crows, they provide what I consider to be a valuable service, they clean up the basic road kill in my neighborhood. Truth be told when I'm paying for a large load of items, many, many times, these very small items are in fact waved off the tally. You go in a buy a starter an alternator and fender, they're not dumb, they know you could have pocketed those little sensors, and they want you to patronize them too. They like the fact that you might have just spent $65. In fact last time I walked out with a fancy dome light (you know the 2 switchable map lights w/the dome type) the guy said $1. Another time I was leaving just before closing, the guys sweeping the floor in front of the counter, I hold up a maf, he just waves me by say have a nice day. Of course anything you get from the pick-n-pull is guaranteed to work, or you simply get another one when you bring the bad one back with your receipt. That being said, Once you get any of these parts home, you replace your exsisting parts with these "crash kit spare parts". This is how you know it's good, because at that point it's now been tested by you.
This is a dream deal because you do the harvesting and then replacing on your own terms. Next rainy day in the garage, on your day off for example. In the case of the distributor for example, I also make a special marking on it, so I can actually replace it at the races in 3 minutes with just one wrench and no timing light! You of course won't need the extra advantage of "speed of replacement" that I've built into my system obviously, but imagine being able to do that while out of town for example, away from your garage. I actually find going to a pick-n-pull a very relaxing and informative hobby, but then again, I'm just an old married boring retiree lol.

The precision is the religion for me!
