Honda, for example, did an absolutely abysmal job and Hondas are incredibly easy to steal because they didn't implement even basic security practices with their FOBs. Others are more difficult. Two-factor would make it much harder still. For example, Tesla allows you to add a PIN in order to drive the car, enter the glove box, change security settings, etc. Just requiring both the fob and a PIN or phone Bluetooth connection while making it difficult to just add keys via the ODB II would go a long way. A lot of car companies give security a low priority. Maybe that's why Teslas are stolen far less than most other brands because they actually take security seriously and employ people to try and break it and offer rewards to people who find holes. In addition, at least with Tesla, I can easily track my car and do things via my phone such as limit the top speed or put it in "valet mode". Tesla's insurance also specifically covers the car being hacked. I've never seen any other insurance policy cover this.

Immobilizer and a GPS tracker is all you need to stop this type of threat. i had my car stolen from my work once. That is all it took for me to learn my lesson... I got a cheap immobilizer module that cuts the 12v source to the fuel pump. I can do it remotely from anywhere. And the GPS tracker has its own battery backup that can last 30 days without a charge. costs $60 a year for the 4g cellular plan. It works great. I can send a text message from my phone and get real time updates. It also auto updates its location whenever the tracker is moving,

Great work and great reporting. I am honestly scared to buy a brand new car.

If Canadian government mandates a 5 - 10 days store-and-wait period in an authorized space where cars will physically wait before being loaded and the same is listed on a public site so it can be cross-checked against reported cars, the whole thing will come to an end in a day. Technically, it isn't much of a work. But it sure will put an end to this. Of course, if they really care about it.

My brother used to repo cars in the late 80's. Most of the work was done by hand, meaning no tow trucks. Tools of the trade were the slim Jim, and under the window tool to get the doors open. Then you had the slide hammer/dent puller to remove the lock cylinder. A little freon would chill the lock to make it more easily shatter. Once the lock cylinder was removed, a screwdriver started the car and off you went. The vats key from GM slowed down the process a little until tools were made to bypass this. Now, you can buy a tool online and not even be that skilled to jump in and go.

My car in the Netherlands was stolen at 6 weeks old Audi A6 2.8 quattro -the people broke into my house by drilling a hole in my window frame, stole my keys but nothing else. When I called the police they asked me if the hole in the frame was 14mm - I said that looked correct. I was told that a gang of thieves had stolen 8 cars in my vicinity - that they were loaded onto trucks with identification that they were carry vegetables - they were driven to Italy where border guards were bribed and transported to Africa One year later I was informed that the car had been found in Gambia - from my side it was a company car so I just got another one the next week

York and Toronto Police in a statement said they made a “large” recovery of 73 stolen cars worth more than $4.5 million in a joint investigation with the Canada Border Services Agency. Before the recovery, investigators said 32 stolen vehicles have already been shipped overseas to either Ghana or Nigeria.

In the US, before any car is loaded onto a container for shipping, US Customs require that a Proof of Ownership be provided. That is, a clean title, and these titles remain with, and carry the name of the finance company financing the purchase of these cars. Virtually every car being stolen in these videos are brand new which means the titles are still with the finance companies. So how did the thieves get these vehicles pasy the Customs and into the containers? That question is what this investigation sorely failed to provide answers to. Plug that hole and these stolen cars won't be able to make it out of Canada.

Exactly right because the thieves can target any country and do this they chose Canada for a reason it’s a inside job.

I bet the reason the CRV is one of the most popular is that it packs well in shipping containers.

This is why I own an older high end car that I spend money on to keep it in perfect condition. Nobody wants to steal my 2008 Acura TL. I just installed factory shocks struts and bushings that was very expensive, but the car rides like new and nobody wants to steal it.

You know who pays for all of this? Everyone who gets theft insurance. Since the insurance companies can estimate how many cars will be stolen, that is factored into everyone else's premium in the first place. So the insurance companies don't really care, ultimately they always need to profit and so they can keep offering the service.

@G. Holman the thing that would really be fair is if the insurance premiums would be based much more closely to the rate of those cars being stolen and not as they are lightly connected now. If you want to buy that Lexus SUV, and 1 in ten are stolen, then the insurance should go through the roof so that people would think twice before buying one AND then perhaps logic says the manufacturer would need to increase the security features to bring that premium back to normal. A few hundred $$ a year extra for Lexus owners on insurance is not going to decrease sales. A few thousand extra will, instead of making all car owners pay into the pool.

At the end of the day he had 10 cars in shipping containers in the Port of Halifax bound for West Africa and of course defaulted on all the loans.

In 2011 we had a car stolen exactly the same as in the video, the car was driven to Tilbury and put in a container with house hold goods/furniture covering it. It was put on a container ship and shipped to the Med offloaded in Marrakesh and stayed in a compound with several 100 other cars that were stolen. The Police tracked the car to the compound and went in under a InterPol investigation and was met by the local Police who were in a UK stolen Range Rover - Yes - they did not even try to disguise it. The investigation found that the cars were held for a few months until they were to be sold in Eastern Europe, South Africa, North Africa etc. The problem is the insurance companies "write off" the loss due to the cost of hiring crew, boat to get all the stolen cars back, so they do nothing.

The important thing is that the consumer will pay about $350 if you lose your key. The point is not to keep the car from being stolen. What is important is a system that charges the car owner a high cost for key programming and keys. These keys are really expensive for the owner and they do not protect the car more than a $10 key.
