Yes the cable thieves are getting less fussy!
We ran one of our race cars without an alternator for a season, it was a PITA as with a race battery it was touch and go on the last lap most races!
I can only think that the wiring is there but its fallen off and is hidden underneath or worst case has been ripped off, cant see it never having had the alternator wired up, unless you have a battery the size of the fuel tank!
