I just upgraded my Honda's battery and starter motor.  Installed them
myself.  The shop made me pay a deposit for the new motor, it seems
they want the old one back.  Rebuilding them is their livelyhood, and they
need the core from my old starter motor.

May I add that I don't mind paying a reasonable deposit insuring the
return of the old ROMs.  How about it Apple?
