About :
Record number of thefts in cars - victims of fraud left in the lurch by the justice system: The German used car market is the largest in Europe. An important economic factor that fraudsters also take advantage of. Organized gangs prefer to offer cars that they have previously stolen on popular Internet portals. Vehicle identities and identification documents are forged for the sale, and the victims fall into the trap unsuspectingly. The scam of the internationally operating gangs is not new, but its dynamics are more alarming than ever. Last year alone there were more than 40,000 thefts, a record number. Information about the music can be found in the description text.

How does the business work, who is involved, what is the extent of this organized crime? And why does it seem to be so easy for the perpetrators in Germany? The team speaks to affected car buyers from the southwest who have lost a lot of money to the criminals and asks the relevant authorities why the investigations seem to be so difficult. The research leads to Lithuania, one of the hotspots of European vehicle trafficking, and to Scandinavia. There the film team discovers a new dimension in the criminal business of used vehicles.
