In this case a local police officer was at the location where the stolen vehicle, and probably hundreds of others were. There was no CN police present. In cases where there are no CN police, then local police should automatically get jurisdiction. Otherwise, like in this case, criminals just get a free pass.

> to process the tens of thousands of titles to ship new vehicles to manufacturers is obscene - and even then, criminals will still find ways to transport cars in shipping containers.

What whining is this about? Are you suggesting that we just let the thefts continue at scale using rail because 'paper work hard'? Are you serious?

The gangs are making up phony shipping and customs manifests and hiding behind the rail and port authorities, who are enabling the gangs.

It's going to take some manpower, but every container going overseas will have to be inspected during loading.

The government's "solution" is putting in high tech x million dollar scanners that will take years to implement while the gangs keep stealing and shipping.

For this example, a scanner does nothing. All it will do is tell you that there was a truck there. But in this case the existence of vehicles on the train were not in question - it was about the ownership of them. It should be much harder to fake shipping manifests and every VIN should be manually verified and against a database of stolen.
