Stephen Taub says he knew exactly where a Range Rover stolen from his Toronto driveway was located, thanks to a tracking device. But he had to travel all the way to Montreal himself to recover it.
Taub, a 64-year-old investment banker who lives in Toronto's affluent Forest Hill neighbourhood, said two Range Rovers were stolen from his driveway in the past year -- thefts that highlight how difficult it is for owners to get their vehicles back, if at all.
When his second Range Rover was stolen weeks after the first, it was initially tracked to the Canadian Pacific Railway yard in Toronto's east end and just days later to a shipping container in the Port of Montreal. Taub said the provider of the tracking device, Tag, shared the car's location with the Canada Border Services Agency , which subsequently set that container aside.
Many stolen cars are illegally shipped via the Port of Montreal to profitable markets abroad. According to Equite's 2022 trend report, car thefts rose by more than 48 per cent from the previous year in Ontario and by 50 per cent in Quebec. "In cases where the CBSA intercepts stolen vehicles at the point of export, the Agency works in partnership with the local police of jurisdiction, and other intelligence sources and relies on referrals from partners," said Bérubé. "The details and timeliness of referrals often determines the extent of action that may be taken by the CBSA."
