I can sort of imagine that a bolt might be "completed" by the replacement of a bolt less stolen rifle and the person who supplied it may be prosecuted but, without being a lawyer, it seems probable that " component" would be interpreted as a smaller, removeable, replaceable part, like a trigger.
Provided you somehow lock your weapon to your vehicle (easier in a hard case) then the main risk is that someone steals the whole vehicle. That is why it is the right thing to take your bolt with you into the cafe, even better than leaving it locked into your car.
Has anyone heard of a case where a firearm owner was prosecuted for having it stolen from / with a vahicle ? Next question is whether there was any leniency because the bolt wasn't with it.
