What interests me is that there's that much stuff available to sell.  
Yeah, they're angry, but they're also setting up the next trip.  Was 
that the only smuggling submarine?  How many trips had it made?

Read "Freakonomics" for insight into how this works economically.  From 
that book, it would appear that the guys they caught were doing it for 
the thrills because they money doesn't go to those at that level.  It's 
a lot more profitable to build a sub for fun!
