I wouldn't be surprised if bikes were stolen in the US to be sold in stores in Mexico, for instance. It wouldn't make sense for a Walmart special, but would for the higher end stuff.
LOL. I have a house in Mexico and lived there for many years. You'd be surprised at how not stereotypical it is. You are so wrong, its not funny. High end bikes there are more expensive because of import costs, and they are not stolen.
There are some very wealthy people there, it is a nation of haves and have-nots. The "haves" have a LOT.
