Australia Fighting The LV Replicas

Intersting post here from the Herald Sun paper in Australia, about a new Louis Vuitton store opening at Crown Casino as well as details o ftheir A$ turnover for 2008 - 2009! http://www.heraldsun.com.au/business/fighting-the-retail-fakes/story-e6frfh4f-1225945006604

Part I love the most though - don't you just laugh at all the different meanings of the same word in English the world over?

Third sentence from the article reads "Mr Debains indicated he was well aware many an Australian nicked over to Asia for a holiday and came back with a handful of designer knock-offs." Now in US terms, nicked = 'notched with a knife', UK = 'stolen' and Australia? I'm guessing 'hopped' or 'nipped over' but if there are any Aussies reading who can explain fully - let's be having you!
