I used to know a guy that stole many cars. We are not buddies any more for obvious reasons.

They would purchase "rollers" or "theft recovery" cars with clean titles. Roller = a car frame wit VIN and title, possibly blown engine, stripped interior if car was used to race etc. Theft Recovery = stripped car, no interior, engine etc.

Clean titles made it easy as no inspection was required.

He would steal the same car, transfer parts, discard the frame. You could easily make 15k+ on one car.

Others ship cars to other countries. Same goes for motorcycles.




I find that very hard to believe given how much work is involved in that


I don't know anyone making 14k cash in three weeks. Definitely worth it for someone uneducated that can earn max 50k.


A mechanic capable of swapping the entire power train in a car by themselves in 3 weeks can make way more than 50k/year.
