Given the paperwork trail that goes with a glider, serial no etc, one would "hope" it would be difficult to get it registered, even in a different country. But cars etc have VINs etc and it happens with them, and I guess the "system" for motor vehicles is a lot bigger and more comprehensive than for gliders and it still happens. Then of course there is always the possibility that it gets stripped into component parts with no serial number on individual components.
Data dots anyone???

Tracking one down would be hard if the thief had his own paddock and a wife who could drive the winch. ;-) Bit like the recovery rate of trail bikes stolen in the city.
