This is nothing new.
It has been going on for a long time.
A buddy had one of the first H2 Hummers.
He drove it to Montreal.
It was stolen out of the hotel parking lot.
Six months later he gets a call one morning from INTERPOL.
They had found his Hummer in Cape Town, South Africa based on the VIN# on the engine block.
He went down to the federal building in Boston to give a deposition.

In King County (Seattle), car thefts were 800 a month. In July and August, each month jumped up to 1,100.

My Dad had his Dad’s ~’80 Maverick car stolen off the streets of Manhattan quite some decades ago.. The Cops indicated that it probably went to the Docks and was shipped off to South America.

Same old, same old.

Thanks ‘Rats....

Stolen cars has been at massive proportions for some time which is one reason why I’ve been in no hurry to buy a new car. However, when those pictures are looked at, it seems like they aren’t high end at all... some of them in fact don’t just look like they are well and truly used, some look like junkers.

Yep. In Mexico, one had a stolen vehicle, tried to justify it with forged papers. Fortunately the vehicle had Lojack, cops drove right up and that was the end of that episode.

I watched an episode of Top Gear where they were in Bulgaria and mentioned all the stolen cars. Even politicians were driving stolen cars.
