Insiders all over. There's surely insiders at ports waiving containers through.

Give names of the employees and locations of the Service Ontario that were infiltrated

[userb]

It is risk versus reward, and since the risk of punishment is so very low, the reward for stealing cars is off the scale.

[maxtorque]

Why didn't they just leave the records by the front desk..like that cop recommended taxpayers should do with their car keys

[korky]

The enrichment continues, diversity is our strength.

[jody-nexs]

They should keep the records by the front door. NEW CANADA

[ArielleXArielle]

Such an egregious breach of trust that these folks selling information must go to jail

[kniknayme]

while you were waiting in line at Service Ontario . they were looking up posh cars instead of serving you.

Corruption has become pervasive in Canadian society.

There was a lady who had her mercedes stolen when she was in the GTA, came back home in the algoma area via rental(also a mercedes) the rental was stolen out of her driveway 800+km away from where her original car was stolen... they tracked this lady to get that specifc car, its insane..

Beyond to where...India?

Immigrations working in the ministry and the government

[larrythompson]

How many times has the PM had his vehicle stolen?

[timbhaumik]

Its only going to get worse when Dougie moves Service Ontario functions to Staples, minimum wage monkeys can be bought at a much lower price than poorly paid Ministry of Transport employees at the lower levels

[alexalex-fffi]

Where is the service Ontario arrested employees pictures?dislike for the useless news

[orobleh]

Employees of the motor vehicle registration should have access to personal records of drivers on NEED ONLY basis and should submit reports any time they access personal records

[felixculpa]

Sure, but it's a 'theft problem, ' not an 'immigration problem, ' right? -- miaow.

[Centurio-LegioX-Equestris]

The insiders at Service Ontario are feeding the info. Harsh penalties need to be meted out. Diversity is our strength.

[hieptan]

This it why car insurance was so expensive.

[humer]

organized crime seems to have taken hold of Canada and the footmen get out jail the next day to continue the work. The cars are taken, shipped out of Montreal and somehow it's difficult to catch them and keep them in jail. Why are we paying taxes again?
