How do these criminals even move that number of vehicles on a regular basis without being caught? It's not like you can hide cars.
I see you never reported your stolen car to police. They literally do not care. As for the port authorities, they're being paid a lot of money to ignore all the stolen stuff.
When my GF's CRV was stolen.
It's easy enough hide cars when you have garage and shipping containers, border patrol is more concerned with things entering the ports than leaving, falsify some paperwork, etc.
But aren't containers inspected to confirm it matches their manifests, or to make sure they've paid any (if any) fees involved with exporting certain types of goods?
I mean, holy hell. You can get stopped at a border as an individual who has a few pieces of contraband fruit in your backpack. But the car theft industry seems to be getting away with exporting hundreds of millions of dollars worth of stolen vehicles. It's infuriating.
The government shouldn't have to put in $100+ million to assign a task force to catch these guys. Literally the port authority has a job they already get paid to do!
@Showroom7561 no, they’re only inspected at random
Brutal. So, it's basically a win for criminals, even if they get caught that one out of 1000 times, and only if they are unsuccessful at bribing the person responsible for the inspection.
@Showroom7561
We’re talking about the Montréal port 🤣. (Run by the mob)
Even if they inspect, all they would find is that it matched the paperwork anyways.
The police and port authorities have to care first. Some donor to an influential political party probably had a car stolen.
