Saw this story just now, on CP24, “Arrests made in ‘highly orchestrated’ auto theft operation”:
More than 300 stolen vehicles seized, with “a combined value of more than 33 million dollars.”
Global News reports 369 vehicles:
$33 million divided by 369 = $89,430.89 per vehicle
Either this is a bullshit story, or our police or Brampton mayor Patrick Brown or someone can’t do math. Or they don’t know how much cars are worth, somehow, and made up an absurd number.
Whatever it is, that’s wrong. How many people drive vehicles that are worth $89k after-market? Doesn’t a car lose 10% of its value just driving it off the lot?
(Given that there’s no evidence being presented here that isn’t circumstantial, this post and the others like this are an exercise in hypothesizing for entertainment purposes only, whether or not the accounts presented correspond to real, not-fictional events.)
Dali refloated eight days ago
This story was in the news eight days ago—WBAL-TV 11 Baltimore, “Dali refloated, moved to Seagirt. What’s next”, from May 20.
I channeled that what you’re seeing in the news this morning is that those “recovered” stolen vehicles from Baltimore, which couldn’t complete their trip overseas and got stuck after their shipping vessel, the MV Dali, hit and destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge, showed up in the Port of Montreal and a cover story needed to be hatched to account for it.
They happened to get the numbers fouled up in this case.
Well a base Range Rover starts at $142K and top tier starts at $210K, Toyota Sienna starts at $48K and tops out at $66K. They are likely talking replacement cost, it is plausible.
My degree of admiration for your work is a reflection of my own enthusiasm for it. Your sketch is visually appealing, and your composed material is both interesting and informative. Despite this, you are apparently concerned about moving in a direction that may induce anxiety. I agree that you will be able to deal with the situation quickly and effectively.
