Default Stolen Luxury Cars Bound For Asia

I saw at least one 458 on the list. This is the only one they busted with, imagine how many shipments went there before this one.

Given these are LHD cars they're probably going into China where there's a market for anything fake and illicit (even eggs, yes, edible eggs!!). A basic 997 Carrera 2S there goes for north of US$250k, mostly in taxes. You can see the incentives for smugglers...
