On: The Elaborate Wig-Snatching Schemes of the 18th Century

Maybe I didn't read it close enough (kinda skimmed it) - but I don't recall seeing any mention as to what these "wig thieves" did with the wigs?

Sell them to others? Disassemble them and sell the hair?

One of the pictures was captioned with this: "Stolen wigs, large and small, could be sold for a pretty penny." One of the stories also involved a man stealing a wig for his own use.
