There has been a large number of exporting going on in the
United States as of lately and much has to do with the inflated vehicle prices
around the world. It is cheaper to
purchase a vehicle in the US and pay all of the import/export fees rather than
purchase the vehicle in your own country.
Well, it seems some think that it’s even CHEAPER to just steal the
vehicles and throw them on the boat to ship to the buyers, rather than take the
proper steps through customs. Not so
fast, thieves!! Law enforcement
agencies, both federal and state, have announced the breakup of one of the
larger car theft export rings. Several
people have been charged with the theft of a multitude of vehicles in the NY
and NJ area, and exporting them to Africa from the area’s seaports.
20 federal, state and local agencies announced the arrests
of 11 of the 19 persons who are charged with the theft of the several high
value automobiles. The buyers of these
vehicles were willing to pay a much higher ticket than what market value
suggests, but bad news hits the shores of Africa instead of the boat loads of
vehicles. There are many ill effects of
these types of operations, including but not limited to crime, carjackings and
robberies. When something is done
illegally, our safety and quality of life diminish along the way.
Our economy, in many ways, is also negatively impacted as
well through situations like these. For
example, not only are our citizens deprived of their personal property, but
theft patterns in specific areas will result in higher insurance premiums for
residents within that area. Considering
that majority of the vehicles are taken by gang members, gangs are thriving in
this market. By cracking down on their
sources of income, we in return gain a favorable advantage.
