The Recent Surge In Car Theft In Nigeria by carreport(m): 1:25pm On Jun 01, 2016
Our studies have revealed that the recent surge in car theft is due to the high exchange rate between the Naira and the Dollar and the dwindling purchasing power has made importation of car very expensive and above the reach of middle income earners.

Statistics has shown that 85%-90% of stolen vehicles in Nigeria and 60% of vehicles stolen in neighboring African countries are re-sold here in Nigeria either wholly(Direct Belgium or as Tokumbo) or in parts, which implies that Nigeria is a lucrative Market for stolen cars.Some unscrupulous Car dealers are now in the habit of mixing stolen cars with imported cars and selling them off to unsuspecting customers.

This is why we are encouraging people to report their stolen cars so we do upload it to our data base (ITS ABSOLUTELY FREE) and make sure the public is notified that the car they wish to purchase is stolen. This will, on the long run discourage car theft if there is no market to sell it.

WHO WE ARE
carreport.com.ng is a not for profit community service outfit which seeks to eliminate, eradicate or reduce to the barest minimum the ability of people to sell stolen vehicles here in Nigeria.

carreport.com.ng is currently populating its database with records of stolen vehicles in Nigeria. We are calling on members of the public who have had their car or a friend or a relations car stolen to visit our site [size=14pt]www.carreport.com.ng[/size] and document it electronically so as to make it difficult to re-sell such cars here in Nigeria. IT’S ABSOLUTELY FREE
