    Apparently the shipping wasn’t too much for the thieves. Wonder why they bother stealing a vehicle from Canada and not somewhere closer to where it was going to end up.

      Maybe because the truck is free for the thieves and costs full price for the insurance company? And if you want to pick peaches, you go where the peaches are, then drive all the way back. There are very few Yukon or Yukon size vehicles outside of NA.

      The Canadian government subsidizes their shipping at the expense of tax payers.
