Pond Life

What happens to the cars when the showroom goes bust? 
Neither new cars nor used ones sell. 
Scrap has no value, even leaded church roofs are safe now.
What do thieves do when their houses are cram full of unfenceable house contents, that no one will buy, or do clever thieves take their old fifty foot plasma tv on a job, to swop it for the latest electronic offering? 
Do car thieves use stolen cars like the Dutch use their free bikes and like James Bond used crocodiles to hop across a pond?
