Certainly not just an 'over there' phenomenon. I saw a recent documentary about car thefts around NJ, convenient to that massive shipping port. I was gratified that they are almost exclusively snagging sport utes, but really angered that it is so open in the foreign country and nothing being done to stop it. They can apparently sell hot Utes for several thousand dollars to people sho ship them over by the Conex full, even working off of a 'wanted list' of types that are in demand (LandRovers were top, but also the BMW and Merc utes). They show a field-lot in African destination with hundreds of 'used' (stolen) high end sport utes - somebody is buying new keys, parts, etc. for these, and the manufacturers and governments should be able to stop it.
