Stolen vehicles are being shipped overseas by thieves so audacious, they leave behind takeout containers, identifiable bumper stickers and even licence plates. A car lot in Ghana in 2017 is lined with stolen vehicles from Ontario. Honda's CR-V, Toyota's Highlander, Lexus's RX and Ford's F-150 are among some of the most popular models of cars stolen in Canada. In January, Peel police announced a multi-jurisdictional investigation — Project High Five — that resulted in 321 criminal charges and recovered more than 200 stolen vehicles. All declined on-camera interviews, but in written statements all agreed that car theft is an issue that affects all brands.
