Reply #22: The cars probably change hands a lot between theft and boom

[Ellen Forradalom]

There has been quite the international trade in stolen cars for a while now. There's a ready supply of vehicles here, demand in other countries where there are customers but little regulation, and profit to be made connecting the two. Then at some point the intrepid insurgents were going to turn to this sales network for their expendable vehicle needs.

It's really not strange. Drugs, arms, art, women all get shipped around the world for profit; cars too.
