2. Stolen cars being smuggled to Mexico, where they're almost impossible to recover

This is a serious issue and it explains why so many stolen vehicles are almost impossible to recover once they cross the border. These groups move cars very quickly alter identifying details and resell or break them down for parts which leaves owners with few options. It also affects normal operations for companies that rely on vehicles, since rising theft often leads to higher insurance costs and tighter rules something I have seen mentioned in discussions around fleets such as Bnlboston limo when people talk about risk and coverage. Better coordination between countries, faster reporting, and stronger checks at exit points sound like realistic ways to reduce the problem. Do you think tougher export checks would actually slow this down or are these networks already too organized?
