At nine o'clock on the night of December 16, 1773, a band of Bostonians disguised as Native Americans boarded the British merchant ship Dartmouth and two companion vessels anchored at Griffin's Wharf in Boston harbor. The Americans, who numbered around 70, shared a common aim: to destroy the ships' cargo of British East India Company tea.
Tea is one thing, slot cars are another. If any slot cars end up in the harbor I'll be hiring a diver to go fetch.
And, I think that shipment that got 'lost' in Russia was actually confiscated because Putin wants royalties for using his likeness on the hood of the red one.
