20 years ago a car was stolen most likely for a joy ride, to commit a crime, etc and then ditched.
End of day the legal system hasn’t changed much since it became. The criminals and the crimes they commit
have adapted. There are zero consequences for repeatable offenders. Time to overhaul the criminal
code.

Law enforcement/government could greatly reduce the over overseas market if they wanted to commit some resources to finding the stolen vehicles at the ports, but they seem more interested in telling people to leave their keys at the front door for the thieves.
