      car thieves aren’t slipping away in car chases. The car is in a box on a ship in the ocean before the cops know anything about it.

      If the cops start digging a bit into longstanding organized crime groups, the judge will jail them for a long time. Police aren’t bringing those cases.

      Pretty sure that car chase over a minor infraction that ended in a collision and a bunch of innocent people dead a couple of months ago has more to do with this than the car thefts. Assuming that there is any real-world basis for the purchase at all.
