Same problem here in Canada. It is the metal scrap buyers that need to be monitored. When some deadbeat shows up with a dozen cats, he didn’t just find them laying around. They are obviously stolen.
There was an arrest near here a while back, the owner of a scrap yard was buying cat’s for cash, no questions asked. The police were very thorough auditing his records, he had way more cat’s than the number of cars he’d scrapped would explain. It never even got to court, it’s not illegal to buy just parts of scrap cars.
