Lithuanian here.

It’s not inequality when instead of a cheap hatchback you NEED to buy BMW 5-Series or Porsche Macan. But you import a damaged one from US. And then you need a bunch of „used“ parts to repair it.

I mean it is inequality since the people they steal parts from can afford them, but it's not the kind of inequality we'd shed tears over.

Or different priorities. Why pick between a nice house and Porsche if you can repair a crashed Porsche with stolen parts and build a house paying workers under table and skipping few regulations here and there.

True Robin Hood, steal from the rich and give to the poor. Too bad it destroys so much capital every time.
