I once worked on a documentary about some drug users and what they shoplifted was valued on street at one third of retail value. But it was items like champagne and aftershave, stuff that could be hawked in pubs. Some very hot Rolex watches are a different proposition. But they could end up anywhere I guess....

Bro, come on. The stolen vehicles are their stolen assets just like the stolen watches become their stolen assets. They could have just sold off the vehicles rather than doing the watch heist or used cheaper cars. By ditching two expensive vehicles during the second heist, they traded $100k in stolen assets for $500k in stolen assets and took on the risk of the second heist plus the jail time for the second heist if they get caught. Not really smart. |

Also watches are easier to sell than cars. In the UK a stolen car is almost worthless aside from its usefulness as a car..You have to hand over a lot of personal info / history on cars and the buyer can do a check on a national database before buying .. if the names don't match up they will know it stolen. |

Not quite true, a crime like this would have multiple charges and could see consecutive or concurrent sentences. I am thinking aggravated vehicle taking, robbery or aggravated burglary etc...
