Russia wants to legalise cars stolen in EU.

Russia may soon allow people to legally register vehicles stolen in the EU and brought into the country.

Lawmakers there have been discussing legislative changes to that effect proposed by the Russian Interior Ministry since early February.

One German police union fears this could lead to an increase in car thefts in Europe.

Rough Sunday for my spouse. His moped [primary transportation to & from work] was stolen out of the apartment parking lot early this morning. We think we were both awoken by the sound of it being driven away, but it didn't register. A police report & insurance claim have been filed, however, we're likely going to have to replace the moped even if it is found.

My hubby is a Veteran. This was his first personal [just his] vehicle since probably around 2008. In 2014, our truck was repo'd due to extended joblessness | inability to make the payments. In 2023, my mom gave us a car & later in 2023, my husband's family gifted him the funds to buy the moped so he didn't have to always rely on others for a ride. That independence has meant the world to him. Sadly, we couldn't afford anything more than liability insurance, so... that won't cover the costs of the theft. 😿
