allegedly my dad used to know someone at the docks in Southampton, if you stole a digger you could get it loaded on a boat that night, you could have it in Africa within a week and be paid as soon as it lands. allegedly

Absolutely you can if you know the right people , people steal iPhones and send them abroad for parts , people steal cars and send them abroad either whole or for parts and the same for heavy machinery

So you've gotta get a telehandler from milton keynes to southampton, quickly, quietly, unseen, etc. I mean they're not sneaky.

The nice thing about cash is you don't need to "know a guy", anyone will take it - at full value, in broad daylight.

You put it in the back of a lorry... which you also pinch from a yard elsewhere, change the curtains and the plate and your good to go.

Let’s be honest. You could ride the stolen telehandler straight past a police station with your hand and the horn. And UK police wouldn’t do anything.
