Our Business is Theft

And business is booming.

David Clinton- Using Government Data to Track the Car Theft Epidemic

Canada is experiencing some nasty car theft numbers right now and I’d love to understand the underlying “business” model a bit better. Reports suggest that most of the stolen cars are left to “cool off” for a couple of days to make sure there aren’t any tracking devices (not that the police have time to intervene even if there are) and are then shipped out of the country through the Port of Montreal.

  1. In the USA shipping stolen cars out of the country is said to have been temporarily halted until the Baltimore port reopens.

      1. “There’s never been a strong business case for that..”

        Meanwhile, quebec mafia is making bank, but cops are too scared to do anything, stomping on old ladies with walkers and kneeing peaceful protesters, while dressed in riot gear and making overtime, is much easier and more satisfying..

      2. Yes, and all you nay sayers preventing Canadian recent entrepreneurial immigres from earning an indecent living should be ashamed of yourselves.

  2. Ahh.. the port of Montreal. The second most corrupt and crime ridden sinkhole in Canaderp besides the Mistake on the Rideau.

  3. “Albania? I hear it’s a lovely place. But considering how the average exported car had a declared value of $13,355 and the cost of shipping a car in a container from Montreal will tack another $4,000 or so on top, I don’t see how this makes business sense.”

    The thing he missed is “Declared Value” is not the same as the price paid on the other end, and if you can sell a car that is worth 70k for 40k to a guy in albania, while claiming it’s only work $14k there seems to be a bunch of profit there.

    1. Believe it or not, Albania is the currently the drug trafficking, contraband, human trafficking and organized crime HQ on the planet. It’s strategically located as a first leg to most overseas shipping. These stolen vehicles are moved south to the Middle East and Africa almost immediately. The Middle Eastern crime rings all have domiciles in that country.

  4. To repeat. Make car manufacturers responsible for replacing stolen cars. Theft would end immediately.

    1. And make the people behind Insite personally financially responsible for replacing sawed off catalytic converters.
      Then the people most directly responsible for the surge in meth heads, tent cities, vandalism, “mental crisis” victims, fire department expenses, and the spike in crime would go bankrupt overnight.

      And there would be a slight and welcome bump in the homeless numbers.

      1. They would figure out multiple levels of security really quickly. Mechanical key, pin pad, biometrics?

        1. scarp
          You don’t understand how cunning some car thieves are, they would just change their MO.

        2. That’s the plan. The reason criminality and unlimited immigration is happening is so you will “vote” for digital ID to “keep us safe”. These clowns in government aren’t stupid: they’re malicious. And they’re being blackmailed to do what their betters have told them to do.

  5. Well…we can’t truly be sure that this isn’t all part of the Khmer Vert’s plan, 15 minute cities where all the “official” vehicles (because there is no real need for private vehicles) are electric.

    Just go easy on all the crooks who are stealing those nasty ICE vehicles and we’re done with them.

    Apropos of nothing, glad to see there are only two Possession of a Firearm contrary to a Prohibition Order charges:

    1. I only got two lines into the press release and decided I couldn’t read any further due to the detection of racism.

      Oh, and don’t call me Surely.

    1. I have had 8 Hyundai’s over the years and all but one were reliable vehicles that required zero warranty repair, zero breakdowns over a million miles. My wife is still driving a 17 year old Elantra that is in excellent shape, I drive a 5 year old Tucson that I expect to drive for another 5 years.

  6. I remember Adam Corolla describing how he foiled thieves by rerouting his fuel line through the firewall and back to the carburetor with a shut off valve hidden underneath his dash and closing the valve before going in the house at night. Genius.
    He’d retrieve his car a mere 100 yds. or less from his house in the morning. Mileage may vary.

  7. Anything going through the Port of Montreal goes directly through the pockets of organized crime.

  8. The Mafia running the Port of Montreal, the Hells Angels running the Port of Vancouver and the worst of all, the authoritarian Globalist Lib/Dip junta running the shitshow in Ottawa.

    “Canada is back baby!”

    on another note… why not have the cops steal the cars and hand them over to the Mafia…?
    It would give the cops something to do when theyre not beating the shit out of old men and stomping little old ladies. Cops love breaking the law too…. one phone call from the PMO seems enough incentive.

    Turdhole should order the cops to lend a helping hand to the the Mafia… the cops would jump at the chance.
    What a fantastic shitshow the “Post Nation State” has become.
    Congrats Lib/Dip voters.

  9. Im the only person Ive ever met that has been kicked out of Albania . Told them ive been kicked out of better places. The White House , wearing a Bush Cheney tshirt in the obama white house) Norfolk Naval base. ( four jeep escort for my Alberta Plate)

  10. ‘not that the police have time to intervene’

    I’d genuinely like to know what’s keeping them so busy.

  11. Clinton has had some good articles in his substack of late. The one back in January about how banks treat their customers was especially on point. If you couple that article with the article by Dean Beeby back in 2019 you can connect the dots and see how the major banks (banking mafia) have been ripping off customers for decades.

  12. At least it keeps the “new Canadians” busy.

    You wouldn’t want them to be sitting at home idle once we brought in the flood of them.

  13. what an incredible business model.
    drawing on existing legitimate technology like image processing,
    gaping holes in business communications systems and ‘experts’ too stoooopid to ipliment security patches immediately, stuff like that, and we end up with key fobs easily hackable.
    no one
    played
    devil’s
    advocate.
    politicians never do, its an admission they could be wrong, or at the very least affording chance someone else showing they are wrong.
    nope.
    cant do that.
    gotta be an ‘air’ of ‘authority’ and winds up 100th time ’emperor has no clothes’ syndrome.
