The car might have some distinguishing bits that would help people recognise it if they saw it...

The problem is that there are literally thousands of private containers and it's almost impossible to search them all and you have to have a reason.

Maybe they could train a dog to sniff out Michelins or something?

Sorry to hear your car is gone mate.

Sorry to hear about this, I know just how you feel.

My house was broken into in June last year, and they stole my Audi A4 and my dad's 6 month old C - class (company car), They also took another A4 from up the road in the same night! Three cars from one street in the same night, must have been a big operation!

With ours, and my neighbour's, they simply snapped the UPVC locks and they were probably in the house within 30 seconds from looking on Youtube. They just took the keys to the cars and then went.
We didn't hear a thing, first thing we knew was getting up in the morning, and having a "dude, where's my car!?" moment!

I live in West Yorkshire, and very close to the M62, and stolen Audis were big business round here last year, as we are so close so Manchester and Bradford, which is where the police suspect they came from. Everything has settled down in the past few months though, and it seems to be much less frequent.

I'm sorry to say we never heard anything about the cars again, Well to be honest, I am not sure I would want it back after some scrotes had abused it, but I did love that car, and often think where is it now (if in one piece) and what happened to it. Would still love to have some answers.

Time and cost I guess to inspect every container?

Thick metal containers?
And the airline luggage thing is to do with safety. That justification couldn't really be applied here.

I'm not having a go at you but your wrong. They should all be opened before getting onto docks ffs. If they can't ship em then they wouldn't steal em

I think the cost overhead would be pretty high?

Felixstowe has over 3 million per year, and that's just one port. I wonder what size of staff you would need to inspect all, and what the increased cost per load would be?

Because it would take a stupidly powerful x-ray source, a MASSIVE receiver/detector and present a huge risk to the operators doing this job day in, day out.

I've just done a quick business model and figure it would add £3-5 per container for an inspection, without taking into account the impact if time for delay and reduced boat turnaround, etc, just the inspection cost.

Out of interest, what's that based on?
