    1. My question is what happens after, do you get your car replaced? Your money back? I wonder because the guy said he worked hard for it before the end, meaning he did not get anything. Anyone?

    1. Because Some of them obviously are getting paid off to help ship them and look the other way..there’s no way that many stolen cars get past without them being paid off

    2. @Nereus Hixon Way more obvious that there isn’t enough staff to search through thousands of containers that have to be loaded onto ships right away.

    3. ​@E Mail yeah but who’s running the import exporting permits then??? This I’d a complete multi system failure

  1. buy a couple cheap airtags, remove the speakers from them and hide them in the vehicle. turn the tables on theives. they cant find them with the speakers removed once they are informed they are being tracked. auto manufactures make it too easy to disable the GPS tracking built in.

  2. Would these vehicles not belong to insurance companies? I assume all these vehicles were paid off by the insurance to the owner once a claim was submitted?

  3. A solution could be to ensure safe housing, clean water, healthy food, quality education, and full health care for everyone, while planning future development to be in harmony with the Earth and with each other…so no one needs to resort to crime or drive motor vehicles.

  4. Why have CBSA when they are incapable of doing their duties and who approved these vehicles from leaving the country?

  5. How can something as big as a truck or SUV be so easilly shipped out of the country without being checked by the border agency. I mean it’s not like someone put them in a pocket and leaves Canada. I mean why is the CBSA able to scan and check outgoing luggages in airports and other points of entry but they can’t check containers for stolen cars? Relying on insurance to pay for stolen cars is not a solution because it will drive up the insurance price for everyone

    1. Ya right, that’s what everyone thinks but the reality is that Old Canadians too are hard at work here, they are usually working at the top – executive level and management, just like it is all over Canada
