Selling cars online

I have to admit that I am taken aback to learn that a car dealer in the state of Washington was ripped off by a buyer in Ireland who used 3 stolen credit cards to get a used SUV shipped to Ireland.

Members of the garda stolen cars unit and the national fraud squad have not heard of a car being ordered over the internet using stolen credit cards.

'“It would be unusual for goods of that nature to be successfully stolen via the internet',” said a source close to the Bureau of Fraud Investigation.

"Goods of that nature" - I love that. It's an SUV, for God's sake, and the steering wheel's on the wrong side to boot.

Not only can I not understand how the dealer didn't wait until the money was in his hands, but why didn't the Irish customs officers catch on? Weird.
