  stone age in regulation. I mean car manufacturers don't pay if a car is stolen, they benefit because someone needs a new car.

    With license plate readers, it should be trivial for police to find and arrest thieves. Lack of law enforcement seems to be a problem as well.

      How does that work when the car is driven only on a trip measured in minutes to the shop before it is even reported stolen, then is either disassembled in double-digit hours, or packed into a container headed for a 3rd-world country? The entire car is never seen in the country again. Bonus, even if the car could report itself stolen in real-time and ubiquitous license plate readers were online so it became a significant problem for thieves, how would it defeat the simple measure of slapping on a valid plate with a magnet for the trip to the shop?

        I did not think about the cars being stripped for parts quickly. I figured the fake license plates are harder to come by, but that could be an issue too.
