I am not formillier with the joke Seanus can you tell me
With motor vehicles in particular illegal trade routes are more common than others. Cars stolen in Britain are often traced to countries in Africa while those stolen in Germany or the Czech Republic may well be sold in Poland or Russia.
New technology is critical to tracking stolen cars. A car's identity can be quickly transmitted to police forces and customs in neighbouring countries.
In the Czech Republic, the records only match current plates, and as there is no system for write-offs, number plates can be easily traded and forged.
This technological deficiency has led to many cars being stolen by placing old plates over the new and traded to clients in Poland and Russia.
So frustrated are detectives that they often joke that the Polish Tourist Board should publish a poster showing an area of beautiful countryside and the caption: "Come to Poland, your car's already here!"
