Though 60 percent of all cars stolen are returned, the rest end up on the black market, shipped overseas, or in chop shops, where vehicles are dismantled and the parts sold on the black market, said Frank Scafidi, spokesman for the NICB. Auto body centers become chop shops for stolen cars, and motels and liquor stores become home to drug dealers and prostitution. Tracking devices used by police to locate stolen cars do not stop the vehicle from being hot-wired, driven away, and dismantled at chop shops before they are even reported stolen. |
