people will also lease cars on good credit (soon to be terrible credit, or just straight up identity theft), and just ship them out of the country illegally, for a huge lump sum of cash.

when i lived in sf, i knew of (friend of a friend of a friend) foreigners who were here on visas that did this, somehow. maybe exaggerated.

either way, when i lease cars i need to sign a piece of paper that says i won't ever take it out of the country, so it must be a problem.
