About 5 years or so ago they did an audit of a Mexican parking lot noted for the consistent presence of premium autos there:
They ran the VINs and found that almost ALL the cars had been stolen from the USA.
IT WAS A MEXICAN POLICE STATION.
While visiting friends in El Paso, they took us for a ride down into Mexico.
All the parking lots had ‘security’.
They said that when you acquire enough money, you purchase a uniform, then stake-out a parking lot to ‘guard’.
Collect tips for not allowing the cars to be stolen.
And maybe call in when a high-value ride shows up?
A full-time job.
