How do you 'clean' a vehicle?, RFID chips are a massive pain in the carjacker's ass. Options

Okay, so, my group of 'runners wound up capturing a Stuffer Shack big rig. Or rather, what happened was that they counter-captured it in a crime of opportunity, having found another hacker had already captured it and was driving it to an unknown location in the Barrens.

I figured they'd just turn it right around and drive it back to its owners to score some easy, fast "nuyen" - 10% of the value of the hauler, the trailer and the load seemed about right to me, you know, salvage and all. They considered that, then ultimately decided that because none of them had a Stuffer Shack contact, they couldn't figure out how to make the approach without seeming like they were the ones who stole it in the first place and hence, were trying to extort money from them.

None of them wanted to seem like they were trying to extort money from a company owned by those friendly guys down south who rip people's beating hearts out of their chests on a regular basis to fuel their harvests, so instead they decided to just gank the whole damn thing.

So, now they have an AM Burro (same stats as the big rig from Arsenal,) with a trailer and loaded down with all sorts of Stuffer Shack goods, from sundries to the caf-pow machines.

They also aren't going to just go out right away and find a fence for it. They've decided to process it, since they have a huge junkyard in the barrens where they can easily hide it from aerial surveillance and ECM will let them squelch any squealers on the thing. So they're going to hand out the food to the local gangs and squatters, keep the household sundries and stuff to themselves play with the machines, and nuke absolutely every single RFID chip on the mother.


I reckon this is going to be a long, drawn-out process involving at least partial dismantling of the truck. Probably a long extended test.

I just haven't found any rules for it. Are there any printed as-yet on how long and what kind of skills are necessary to 'clean' a stolen vehicle?
