Car Theft Ring- Houston Shipper of Freight Offers advice

Posted on Tue, Nov 15, 2011

Khou TV in Houston reported last night about a car theft ring that was steeling cars in the Dallas area, and then loading the cars into shipping containers for overseas shipment.

 Luckily an alert Texas State Trooper heard the sound of a Lojack vehicle coming from the Port of Houston. The sound was not emanating from a parked car in the lot but was coming from a shipping container.

 With much diligence and coordination between Houston Police, The Port of Houston Police and US Customs, the car was located inside of a container. The officers then proceeded to find other vehicles, also stolen, inside other shipping containers. The vehicles were filled with  household items.

When shipping vehicles over seas, make sure that you have a clear title to the vehicle.   It is not recommended to have any items stored inside the vehicle. On a commercial invoice make sure to  list all items inside a container.
