“Apparently there is a problem in Thailand with the illegal smuggling of sports cars into the country. To prevent “car laundering”, the brilliant Thai government decided it was a better idea to destroy these cars to show the importers a lesson, instead of auctioning them off and using the proceeds to fund important programs to help the poor.”
