Stolen Canadian cars are ending up in Africa and auto industry says not enough is being done to stop it

Vehicles stolen from Canada are increasingly ending up in Africa and the Middle East but authorities in those countries say Canada’s law enforcement agencies have not engaged them on the issue.

The vehicles, some of which still contained their Canadian registration documents, were being off-loaded through various online channels, including social media, with buyers paying close to market price.

“We’ve become a global donor in stolen vehicles,” Michael Rothe of the Canadian Financing and Leasing Association told CBC. “From our perspective, it’s a lack of enforcement.”


A lack of enforcement? Hell the police won’t even respond if you report your car stolen.
