Here’s a fun fact no one mentions much, although CBSA is mandated to stop stolen cars from leaving Canada, they rarely persue it. I know, you’re going to say that CBSA caught X cars leaving in such and such year, but that’s just a tiny tiny fraction that is caught almost by accident. Have you noticed that all the stolen cars are caught by CBSA in the east, yet the Vancouver Port is the largest by volume in Canada and they’ve caught none? The issue is funding. You see in order to get a container from a dock, there are logistics and expenses. If I know a car is stolen and leaving and is sitting on a dock, I have to pay the dock fees such as storage and move fees( every time a container is picked up by a crane and moved in a stack or onto a chassis there is a fee), then I have to organize a truck to come get the container, that’s not free, then I have to find a warehouse and labor to unload the car. CBSA looks at all these costs and thinks well who will pay, obviously not the criminal gang exporting, maybe the insurance company, nah they just get their property back, so now CBSA is on the hook for 5-7grand of recovery costs.
