A car which was reportedly stolen from Ontario street, Canada has been tracked to Nigeria.
The “2017 Toyota Highlander” belonging to one Ahmad Abdallah was said to have disappeared from his street last September, according to CTV News.
It was gathered that the owner had given up on finding the car after surveillance video of the thieves unlocking his 2017 Toyota Highlander provided no clue.

About 6 months later, the vehicle was found sitting in a lot in a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria, said CTV News Investigates.
After seeing the video of his own car for sale overseas, Abdallah realised how truly organised the criminals who stole his car might actually be.
“I got a call from you. You sent me a picture of my car. Oh it blew my mind,” he said in an interview.
“This is clearly a big operation. There should be more people looking into it…we’re talking millions of dollars. This has to be taken seriously,” he said.
Abdallah’s experience is a small window into a huge surge in car thefts striking cities across Canada, with an apparent epicentre in the Greater Toronto Area.
