It's truly bizarre how pro-crime you'd have to be to allow this to continue, but it seems like a common position in some western countries. People will try to blame literally any other part of a formerly high trust society (the owners, the car manufacturers, etc) before coming down on the criminals. A concerted team of less than 50 people with a budget for costumes and a couple cars and surveillance tech should be able to put an end to most of it.

This is one of the most interesting parts:

> But the police in Ottawa stumbled on it when an officer noticed a Range Rover being backed into a shipping container on a rural property. A second car in the container was Mr. Elworthy’s Ferrari.

> “I was absolutely ecstatic when I got the call from that officer,” he said. “I was literally jumping up and down.”

What happened to the shipping container? Who owned the rural property? Who was working with that person? Where was the shipping container going? Did they catch more than one person in this operation or what?
