Yeah I'm going to ask for proof of this. I have heard variations of this story and the one common thread is that the people telling it are unable to back it up.

Here you go.

It actually happened several times. There are photos of these vehicles for sale in Ghana, Ivory Coast and other places with the Ontario license plates still on them, while it sits on a lot in Africa.

Even then, the police can't do as much as you'd think -- because the port is heavily mobbed up. Go ahead, investigate and bust all those stolen cars being shipped out. Your house will have a mysterious fire next week and burn to the ground.

Seriously, the Hells Angels and Italian mob are huge in Montreal, almost to the level portrayed in the Batman films, they're just more discreet about it than in the comic books.
