Stolen Across Borders

By George Owusu

A vehicle disappears from a driveway, parking lot, or city street in
North America. For the owner, the crime is immediate and personal. But
in some organized cases, the theft can become the first stage of an
international journey.

Stolen Across Borders examines the hidden trade in stolen vehicles
moving from North America toward overseas markets, with particular
attention to documented cases involving West Africa and the Middle East.
Drawing on public reporting from Canadian authorities, INTERPOL, and
other official sources, George Owusu explores the economics of vehicle
theft, organized criminal networks, international transportation, ports,
vehicle identity, financial investigations, victims, insurance costs,
and the growing role of cross-border law-enforcement cooperation.

This is not a manual for vehicle theft or smuggling. It is a
prevention-focused investigation into how legitimate global trade can be
exploited by criminal networks - and what governments, industry, law
enforcement, and consumers can do to make that exploitation more
difficult.
