The point is that there is very little value in a $1 microSD card 
assuming you even know the microSD card is in it.  I'd say the value is 
maybe... $1.  If someone is going to take the unit for a $1 microSD card 
I think they can figure out there is a $25 rPi inside that can be sold 
for $10 easily.
