Why would you assume they are "stolen" ? Actually, everything is removed from the car at the German port the car was not federalized with. Since US cars were not federalized with the triangles and first aid kits the port officials have no choice but to remove the items. No need to remove the manuals; I've done 11 ED's and the manuals always are in the car at redelivery.

This is the same reason you can't load up your new ride with aftermarket stuff while in Germany
