As long as you're not that bothered about it being stolen, or
receiving
any payout from your insurance, then go for it.

The insurer won't know if it's nicked.

If it is recovered damaged, they may start to question how it was
started.

On the assumption that there is still a "trade" in stolen cars

I'm guessing there is , it was on eastenders :-)

I'm still part way through the recently shown Danish program where the perp
steals a car to order every episode

top-of-the-range vehicles such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW make up the
majority of cars stolen and recovered in 2018.
Strange the more expensive cars are so relatively easy to steal.


just how do they get them started? (just generally, no specifics
required)
