Theoretically, I had a chance a couple years back to buy a baby Whitworth cannon for $4,000 down that way. I said, I'll give you $10k delivered to me in the good ol' US of A. That was pretty much the end of that. They have stringent laws on exporting antiques, but apparently there is a lot of graft and corruption so people with the right connections can get things out. Not wanting to lose all my money or worse spend my remaining days in a South American jail, for once I resisted temptation and stayed clean of that.
