Whether it is possible to buy a car that was stolen of Course, you can. Both deliberately wanting this, and accidentally running into a stolen car. To avoid buying a stolen car, check its history in advance. In search of savings, it is not always possible to buy a brand-new car from the salon. In the market of used models, cars that have been stolen often look best in the price-quality ratio. To buy such a vehicle, they say, is more expensive for yourself. And this really has its own truth.
There are two main directions:
1) They are disassembled for spare parts and sold in parts;
2) They are legalized and used further on other numbers;
Theft of luxury cars is usually carried out by a team of several people. At the same time, they specialize exclusively in such cars (for example, on the entire model range of Toyota and Lexus SUVs). And the criminals are equipped, as they say, to the teeth.
For example, directly from the hijackers, the cost of a stolen Lexus LX-570 car 2-3 years old is around $ 12 thousand.
Judge for yourself: with the money raised from the sale, you can easily afford expensive equipment that can be used to neutralize any security system.
You can buy for money information about the installed "satellite" in a particular car, as well as about where the button to disable this "satellite" is located and where, in fact, the transmitting device itself is hidden.
It usually takes criminals several days to develop a car theft plan.
In addition to the fact that the hijackers study the permanent routes and habits of the owner, check the presence of security systems in the car, find out what they are and how they work, select technical means to neutralize these systems, thieves often even specially prepare a set of relevant documents for a specific car.
Fake ones, of course, but based on real ones. That is, they use the traffic police database that they stole or bought, find a car of the same make, model and color, duplicate all documents, license plates, make a fake power of attorney for the right to drive the car and act.
What happens next? One fine day, or rather, night, the car is opened, the "brains" are changed, the ignition lock is broken, the engine is started and... suddenly a buzzer sounds a signal that you need to turn off the satellite alarm before driving.
Of course, the criminals know where the button to turn off the satellite alarm is located they bought this information at a reasonable price from the installers of the security system for this car.
For example, in some cases, it is enough to open the driver's door, press the brake pedal and close the door, or just open and close the driver's door twice with the Parking lights on.
Well, if there is no buzzer in the car and it is set in motion, thieves just calmly drive it into the sump, only replacing the license plate. If they are suddenly stopped by a traffic police inspector, the driver will present false documents for verification, including a power of attorney, and continue on.
In rare cases, the guard will check the body numbers with the numbers indicated in the registration certificate. On the way to the sump, the hijackers carefully search for the Sputnik in the cabin and in most cases find it before arrival under the ceiling covering or under the carpet.
Thus, the chances of returning the stolen car are reduced to zero.
Although it also happens that criminals do not manage to find the "satellite" before arriving at the sump. But it doesn't matter they turn on a special device in the car, which simply drowns out the signals of the "satellite".
Then, upon arrival, the criminals without too much fuss disassemble the cabin to the last detail, using a scanner to find and eliminate the transmitter.
As mentioned above, in most cases, the customer for a stolen car is known in advance, as well as his (the customer's) location.
For example, expensive Japanese SUVs are sent far beyond the Urals, because their reliability and driving qualities are just right for those places. Well, moneybags-businessmen and officials there do not experience any special inconvenience when traveling by car local traffic policemen do not bother them much because of their high authority.
Reliable Japanese suspension withstands the terrible roads of the hinterlands. As for such famous brands as BMW and Mercedes, these cars are sold mainly in the Caucasus.
Naturally, while the car is waiting to be sent in the sump, new documents are being prepared for it again, which, unlike the previous theft kit, cannot be distinguished from the original ones.
How do they do this? There are many ways to create fake documents. let's look at one of them.
A certificate of registration of a vehicle and a license plate always of some distant region, but not where they are going to send the car. Naturally, only forms and blanks are real.
Criminals get their hands on them in this way: they buy a cheap car for a couple of hundred dollars and register it in some remote village away from big cities.
It is unfortunate, but without accomplices in uniform here is not complete: otherwise, where do fake-real documents come from? So, in a remote village for a small fee, an employee puts a cheap car on the register, but does not fill out either the vehicle's passport or the registration certificate he returns clean forms to criminals along with brand-new license plates. Thus, the documents pass through the database, they are not wanted, but you can find out which car they were issued for only by contacting the traffic police department of the corresponding region. And for this, you will agree, you need an excuse, which, as a rule, never occurs.
After all this procedure, criminals interrupt the engine number of the stolen car, change the plate with the VIN number, make keys, eliminate defects, give, so to speak, a marketable appearance, hang up new numbers and go! All the described manipulations are performed within a maximum of 2 weeks, but more often much faster in 2-3 days.
