Is this where stolen bikes end up?

[Globalti]

It's well known that high spec. cars get loaded into containers and shipped to Africa under false documents. Even one of my agents bought a second-hand P38 Range Rover, which turned out to be stolen.

Is the same now happening to stolen bicycles? A few thousand thrown into a sea container, impossible to prove as stolen, and fetching around £140 each in the second-hand market?

Moved this thread.
The stolen bikes forum is for reported thefts only.
Thanks.

£140 for a stolen bike in Nigeria? That's more than a month's wages for most people. Maybe that's why they keep sending out scam emails?
