Just a thought...............

Don't Go looking for a car in Cyprus or Mombasa. They probably run a little warm.

My thinking is this.................there are more cars registered in Cyprus than people ( so something doesn't add up ) and over the last 10 years every car stolen in my area seems to end up in Mombasa. A while ago  a friend bought an X5 , had it 2 days and the house was broken into so they could get the keys.
Insurance paid out and they moved on.
6 weeks later ...we found your car ..........it's in Mombasa. Apparently that's where the majority end up.
They never get repatriated / recovered ( no surprise there ).
But I would suggest much of whats driving around is of dubious origin.
Check very carefully.
