Michael Walker’s stolen truck was found through a tracker but police took too long to seize it, so it was taken again. Thieves moved it to a shipping container where it sat for more than two weeks before authorities helped.

Charge any company in posession of a shipping container believed to contain stolen vehicles with posession of stolen property or something to that effect if they don’t immediately set it aside to be checked by law enforcement, and tighten up the paperwork required for shipping used vehicles generally. Make the corporations perform due diligence, and it will suddenly be a lot harder to get stolen vehicles out of the country. If that means each shipping company has to hire someone to stand there and check VINs against a list while some other company is loading cars into containers, so be it.
In the meanwhile, buy compact cars rather than SUVs or pickups, because they seem to be less-desirable theft targets.
