So.. I think CP rail is maybe a co-conspirator here? They have immunity from local law enforcement, and don't seem to require any title checks to move vehicles across border.
The problem here is probably the criminal lied about what was in the cargo container, and 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.
At the end of the day, it’s up to the ports (which again are a federal agency) to scrutinize cargo containers destined for these locations - which they don’t have the staffing or funds to do.
And now they'll be stretched further inspecting incoming shipments for flipper zeros.

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?
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.
