Hope these guys don't resort to carjacking or stealing like in Hong Kong.
Car insurance in Hong Kong went ballistic for Mercs and Bimms cause many
vanished while parked in carparks and garages. Then these same cars were
seen happily cruising around Southern China with the same tissue boxes and
what not inside being driven by 'well connected' Chinese bureaucrats or
their chauffers.

I'm probably going to get shot for writing this. And my parents will be
