F-35 fighter jet. You try to resell that shit.

The ECU is unable to communicate with the rear RWR antenna, please contact your local Lockheed Martin dealership for service

I'm sure China would put in a bid for one, your life wouldn't be worth living after though you would need serious plastic surgery a new identity and even if you moved to China I'm pretty sure you would have a accident eventually.

Atomic Basketball Supermen don't grow themselves, bub.

As a normal person with no underground connections, maybe a significantly sized diamond? I don’t even know where to begin to be able to sell it. And any stolen large diamond will definitely raise alarms if I bring it anywhere legal to sell.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Find a shady diamond dealer in Morocco, that's how my uncle managed it.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Or just any ol pawn shop on the bad side of town. Those guys never notify the police, even when they're legally obligated to do so. Although, if you go to the wrong pawn shop and they know it's stolen, they might just jack you themselves.

[–] Boris_NotTooBadinoff@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Something valuable you say....hmmm, let me think about it for a sec

Don't forget to rub it with lemons to make the invisible ink visible

Hold on a minute! I'm taking my minute back

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 28 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

A famous work of art like the Mona Lisa, maybe? It would be super hard to steal and you might not be able to fence it because it's too hot. Something like that would immediately go viral on the news and everyone on the planet would be looking out for it.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 11 points 2 weeks ago

some people steal art just for the thrill and don't even attempt to sell

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Stolen AGAIN?! (The theft plays a part in the painting's fame.)

[–] a_new_sad_me@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I understand from some podcast that the Mona Lisa is famousbecause it was stolen. Before that it was just another painting.

You are worth it!

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

That's not necessarily valuable, exactly. Yes, companies charge a lot for consumer ink jet printer ink, but prices go down dramatically when you're talking about commercial printing. A two liter bottle of high-end dye sublimation ink runs about $200 (might be up since I last bought in 2021), and the dye sublimation ink for the HP printer I operate costs about $700/10L.

If your printer has replaceable print heads that aren't part of the ink cartridge, and if you can retrofit a bulk ink system, then you quickly find out that ink is pretty inexpensive.

A balloon on free balloon day?

[–] lemmyknow 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's not stealing if you give it back afterwards

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

A crude oil supertanker. It would probably break international law to sell it to anyone willing to buy it.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

You'd be surprised at how many nations would be willing to break that international law for some cheap oil.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I feel like "getting away with it" has that covered, so it would be totally worth it.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought the stealing part you got away with but not the selling part

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 1 points 2 weeks ago

easy fix, don't sell it. turn it into a cruise ship to launder all the oil money.

Trix.

Silly rabbit, trix are for kids.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Nice try, thieves. I'm not giving you any ideas for things to steal. You should steal this idea instead.

Diamonds, or any sort of gemstone, as trying to sell those things would probably be as risky as stealing them in the first place.

Incan matrimonial head masks

Is there a lot of money in... ah... Incan... Matrimonial head masks?

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Boatloads. If you can sell them, which you can’t.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Some people lack vision.
