This is the best summary I could come up with:
It didn't take long for a tracking company to find Michael Walker's truck after it was stolen from his Toronto driveway earlier this month.
Finally on Monday, after CBC reached out to police, CN and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), authorities opened the container, revealing Walker's 2023 Toyota Tacoma inside.
Auto thefts in the country, particularly in Ontario, have risen to "epidemic" levels, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, resulting in a wave of measures to get it under control.
The Ontario government is spending $18 million on prevention efforts, and has also launched a task force aimed at disrupting the "networks responsible for high-risk auto thefts."
Walker said he believes if it hadn't been for his incessant efforts in contacting the various agencies and the inquiries made last week by CBC, his truck would still be sitting in an unopened container.
When it comes to stories like Walker's, Dean said resources at all levels need to evolve, adding that it takes time for authorities to get processes in place since the issue of auto theft has exploded quickly.
