Did none of the officers you spoke to suggest that this could be insurance fraud? He could be paid to hold them as the owners claim they were stolen to their insurance company and get a full payout. He holds them at his place for however long necessary and then they get claimed later as found by a third party and get repurchased as a salvage title
Ding ding ding. Nailed it.
Exactly
my thought exactly
This I found to be more plausible than the stolen identity one because I’m sure dealers and rental companies have trackers on their cars
@@laughsandwich3842 can't speak for California, but here in Texas you usually only see those on cheap car lots where missed payments and repos are more likely.
I definitely think people have him "steal" their cars so they can file an insurance claim. Maybe they couldn't afford the car anymore, couldn't repair it, or simply just wanted something else. People actually do this, the difference is they wont leave the cars in their back yard lol.
Definitely the first thing I thought. Somebody was having second thoughts after buying an expensive mid life crisis vehicle and wanted to offload it.
That's where my conclusion jumped to as well, and I think that is a much more plausible explanation than regular theft. If they were stolen for parts they would've been torn apart. If they were stolen to commit crimes, they wouldn't have been stashed in a back yard (that would only incriminate the person, completely defeating the point of stealing a car to commit crimes)
Was looking for this explination.
Yeah that's what makes this case so odd.
Yup that seems more likely. Given the type of vehicles and situation. The cars owners were probably his customers. So he was their weed man and did favors for them too.
2:34 as a german and BMW enthusiast myself, i can confidently say, that that`s a BMW 8 series G 15 in a rare color called aventurin red metallic. Quite comprehensible to steal such a great car ;).
I thought it was a m6 but the mirrors didn’t match up
I think that the one to the left of the red 8-Series is a Gran Coupe as well. Please correct me as a German and BMW enthusiast ;D
ok…i love u i was LITERALLY getting ready to say this
Was Gonna say an 8 or 7 series
It's brown
Gotta admire the guy's work ethic. Most people would be happy with one criminal enterprise but this guy was diversifying his portfolio.
Man’s said he needs multiple streams of income lol
he got the business 101
If you're going to risk prison time? You better make it worth it. Kinda like this guy did
Sanctuary state 🤡he’s untouchable 🤡
That’s really good advice. My husband locks his keys in his F150 all of the time and then just use the door access. And of course me driving my 95 Subaru..... I’m like “that’s not safe”
Also, what happens when his battery dies? Hope he has a spare set of keys.
this was totally me)) once i catched a guy trying to go away in my ford. in a minute i wished him good luck and was very happy to get such a lesson :) i never leave keys in a car since then
Subaru love!👍
What the hell?
@@robertt9342 I mean if he drives it often then it wouldn’t die unless the battery is having issues but yeah, always a possibility it doesn’t work one day. My 2010 fusion has that stuff and I only lock it in when I go hiking or in a case I really don’t wanna risk loosing the keys myself. If the whole car goes missing that’s a different issue lol
I mean, with the current car prices… but on a more serious note, that’s incredible how those cars were parked, I couldn’t imagine being able to Tetris that many vehicles in one place
He didn't steal them all at once. I am sure he just started on one side and moved to the other by parking them the furthest back and then moving forward as he stole them.
@@racequad9 so you are telling me this wasn’t a “gone in 60 seconds” situation? I still want to believe Nicolas Cage was somehow involved.
@@ericMT lol
One at a time it’s very easy
On patchy grass to boot. At least it doesn't rain there, right??
Crazy dude had those sitting in his back yard and they never noticed, but my 2 vehicles got tagged in mine. On a side note though, my mom has had a bamboo plant in a pot with potting soil instead of the usual water and rocks for years now and its grown so crazy its been cut down and the cuttings have been given away over 10 times...
bamboo grows fast. there are some species that supposedly you can actually see them grow if you watch for an hour. they grow like a foot per day
Personally I have found the best way to secure a car is the old toggle switch on the coil or fuel pump. A nice hidden location in one of the air vents works well. My good friend puts the switches in plain view in the form of a switch for an accessory that doesn't exist using an oem switch in an oem location.
Meh. If they wanna get it bad enough. They'll get it.
Fuel cut off does nothing against a tow truck that can remove a vehicle in seconds.
"Locks only keep honest people out"
@@evictioncarpentry2628 where you l8ve that car thieves are using tow trucks? Like what the fuck
this comment is being copy pasted by a bot, why am I commenting about this? I don't really know
@@kshauryadwivedi who's the bot?
@@marchenning5037 for me its like the 4th-5th comment on the vid
"Modern cars are easier to steal, because people tend to leave their key fobs in their car."
I'm happy I don't personally know anyone this stupid. That sounds like a massive risk for a minor convenience.
It’s not stupid when you pay $5k for a car and it’s insured for $20k 🤷♂️
@@MrPland1992 "thats what insurance is for" is a stupid take. like thrasher said, it's a massive risk for something you can easily put in a pocket. just because you have insurance doesn't mean you can't take steps to avoid it.
@@rarelikecandy idk man it’s trading a 5k car for 20k, but in this economy you are gonna have to pay 20k for a car that’s worth 5, so not really a win
Probably more common that it’s an extra fob left in the car. Or, the fob is in a bag or something that got left in the car. Can be pretty easy to do since you don’t need the physical key in the ignition.
The best thing is leaving your Key in the ignition and the Key to your second car in a handbag on the passenger Seat of your unlocked car. Two Stolen Cars for the price of one.
For anyone wondering: Ok, but what can he do with the stolen cars, he can't just resell them in US right? That's right. Most of them are shipped overseas. For example in Russia, it's estimated that 50% of all "new" luxury cars are actually stolen car. So a stolen US Aston Martin could and most likely will end up on the Instagram feed of a rich russian millionare. In fact certain US luxury owners even arrange for their car to be stolen, they get a cut of the re-sale money from Russia and collect full car insurance in US!
Wow. Good to know.
Boutta try this👍🏼
@@dannydoinko7423 say cheese 📸
@@dannydoinko7423 Oh, my dad actually tought about it with a Renault Kangoo some years ago, the truck had a lot of mechanical problems, and we tought "Why don't we sell it for parts and claim that it was stolen from the insurance?" We never did it, though
@@martinkurdi436 It's a bit more involved than that...
Gone are the days where you and a group of friends could buy a used truck, insure it for more than It's worth, and set it on fire for the payout.
One would think matching VIN numbers to where they were last sold and the circumstances of their no longer being possession by the owner would help greatly in figuring out what is going on
Given how low coverage this case got, (took me 30 minutes to actually find a reputable source), they probably want to finish their case of grow op before contacting each of those insurance comapny.
And the liberals want to take guns away from honest citizens. Shoot thieves stealing cars. poarch thieves and grab & goers. Send them to Hell.
When I lived in my old house someone made a habit of parking stolen cars in my driveway. One morning I came out to find an almost new Porsche GT3 out there with the door open.
The doctor who owned it gave me $1000 cash when he came to pick it up after I called the cops. So whoever was trying to annoy me with their stolen car antics actually made me get a $1000 reward!
Your own self lol
"someone"
@@VonSly You’re accusing him? 🤦♂️
Usually those types of criminals steal these cars as "disposable" cars to commit crimes. Over here in Puerto Rico, lots of Kia Souls and Sportages and Toyota Yaris are stolen just for that purpose. About a month and a half ago the police found a backyard that pretty much looked like a Toyota parts bin.
The cars stolen here would hardly pass as "disposable" or inconspicuous in PR.
theyre called bruckies
The problem with this is why such expensive cars when you'd (I believe) want to go unnoticed? Maybe it's because I live in a poorer area but a car like that would certainly turn heads
Insurance fraud simple people pay the dude to keep their cars for some money from the insurance companies
My dad had a Toyota Corolla back in the day and at a fiesta patronal was told by a guy he needed to sell his car cause eventually it was gonna get stolen. And since he’s now a cop he was probably lucky that guy told him that before he got it stolen like so many others.
Also a lot of the time, super common cars get stolen to be chopped up for parts. Your $1000 clunker might be worth $3,000 once parted out, especially if the bodywork is still in passable shape.
Guy who owns the backyard: “yea…. It’s a real mystery that’s for sure”
While wearing a hotdog costume
"woah! How'd those get there?"
Wait did I walk into my neighbors yard? Whose house is this?

I hear the LAPD also located a 1973 Ford Gran Torino in Van Nuys. They've got two detectives on the case. Got em working in shifts.
Starsky and hutch?
Hahaha
@@AlbanyHermes you take my upvote you beautiful sob
Love this movie
S
Guy: steals like 40 cars
Cali: you're good man, no sweat bro!
Same guy: has gun
Cali: REEEEEEEEEE!
Loved that video! Don’t ever stop making more!
So excited you guys made a video about this super cool 👍 I remember seeing it on the local news a few weeks ago and I was super eager to know more!!!
Plot twist:it was a parking lot
I have a feeling that the cars there are more of an insurance fraud case or something cuz some insurance policy do 3/4 refunds on stolen cars.
So I have a suspicion that he allowed some of the people to park their unwanted car there and let them get insurance payouts as they report the car stolen and he gets a small cut of the money while the car sits in his lot without ever leaving it. Makes sense really.
Some gone in 60 sec shit haha
Until a frame with a vin number pops up, the insurance will give people the run around for as long as they can “in case it pops up in one piece” so they don’t have to pay.
So they’ll be waiting a while lol
@@PurpleTBSS yet they’ll still eventually get a payout so it’s not the time they wait it’s the fact the crime will still be committed for people to get money from the insurance
Makes so much sense and now explains the backyard I also found full of high end cars out here. I fly drones, and typically I’m flying at range sometimes certain things catch my eye and inhale seen backyards full of cars before and only suspect standard insurance fraud case not a middle man being involved
This was my immediate thought as well.
"Stealing" 50+ vehicles and letting them sit, without fencing them, parting them out, etcetera: Unlikely
Allowing them to be "parked" for an extended period of time and subtly "disposing" of them after nobody "reclaims" them: Likely
One gets your hands dirty; the other maintains plausible ignorance.
I definitely need an update on this story 👑
That is madness. Must be a crazy story behind this case. When i worked for an insurance company we had this one client who had a brand new Toyota Landcruiser stolen from him every 6 months. There must have been at least 7 or 8 of them stolen. The owner guy was legit but the thieves figured out that this bloke would get a new replacement Landcruiser every time they took one. Apparently the cars all ended up in warzones being broken down for parts or used as weapons trucks.
How much above average does he have to pay to insure his TLC after so much theft? Also, that's some serious brand dedication
just imagine going to your friends house and just seeing so much stolen cars in his backyard
Doubt he brought many to his house if he’s a grower.
@@WillF1980 I also doubt he told anybody they were "stolen".
@@WillF1980 Why not? I literally would not care. I don't think most people would. It's a lil weed, not human trafficking.
@@Rspsand07 guess you don’t know any growers🤣 many times farms and grow houses are robbed right before harvest.
@@WillF1980 Well I wouldn't let someone I'd even slightly suspect of robbing me in my house in the first place. Or be friends with them.
Down the street in Glendale, folks would buy/lease exotics they can’t afford for months then have them get “stolen” ending up in a lot like this

Yup
was my first guess aswell but the m8 has those fender vent thingys soo idk

An entire auto theft scheme in California, sounds like that can make a great videogame! 👀
GTA?
These are the best car videos ever
So incredible to see those 30 plus cars all parked up in someone else's garage. Without even noticed.
Theft even at that level, is considered a minor crime in California. Which is utterly ridiculous. So when your stuff goes missing, don't expect it to be found, nor the person held responsible in the end. Shameless.
If convicted of MILLIONS of dollars worth of theft, max sentence: 2-5 year (maybe) and max 50k fine. Insane. All that theft means that the 50k is whatever and he basically paid himself to be in jail for two years, more than you make at your honest job. Then he just gets out and does it again, because it doesn't mean sh!t to him.
Everything in California is a minor offense except supporting Trump.😅
theft is usually committed by ppl who are impovershed, so it should be a minor crime. and most of the time the victim can just file a claim and get their money back
Do you think that they specifically chose to steal 33 cars because they wanted to run their own Indy 500?
This is canon now
Pretty much all of those cars can be tracked by their navigation units via the dealer/manufacturer with or without a battery in the car. There's a much bigger story here.
Tesla's perhaps, but there's nothing to track if there's only a passive signal from an unpowered tracker. If the manufacturer doesn't get someone on the cars tail pretty quick, then the thieves will disable whatever is necessary until it gets to it's new country/owner. It's not a clueless newbie when there are 35 cars with factory trackers fitted sat in his backyard and this is the first anyone knew about it. They've been worked on by someone before being parked there, otherwise 35 cars would all disappear at the same spot, which is equally suspicious.
Either the cars owners are involved in the fraud, or there's an organised crime element to it. But unless someone has fit a SIM enabled tracker in a non factory locale on the car, once the power sources are disconnected, or the area sufficiently shielded, it's game over.
This guy brought a new meaning to Keys Keys Keys Keys on Van Nuys.
I think we all wanna be that guy.
Idk why I have 33 cars in my backyard officer.
I wouldn't, I'd rather have one car that I know is mine.

So you wanna be a thief?
late 90s hondas are honestly hysterically easy to steal, mine was stolen twice in orlando when i was in college
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Leaving the keys inside cars is really a thing, it blows my mind. In NJ, thieves leave Newark and travel to the suburbs to try door handles. they don't have to look for long before they find one unlocked with the key fob inside. They return back with high end cars every day. they joy ride them until they crash or until it's recovered by police while it's parked. If they're able to find someone to purchase the car from them and ship it overseas, they'll do that or use it to commit other crimes. They are also known to travel an hour plus to quiet neighborhoods, including into neighboring NY state, to steal cars.
Stealing $2.3 million is considered a minor crime in California?
yeah pretty much
Apparently and it’s pretty stupid
It's the possession of a gun you're comparing too. Cali hates them soooooo much
California = big dumb
California is so weird man
Not sure if it's just in Ireland but if you're car is stolen while your keys were in it your insurance will not cover you
If the car is missing,how does the insurance company know if you left the keys in it?

6 years, $60,000 max... well cheaper then payments and 6 years with 3 meals, room and all the unwanted love you can't handle🤣
This might be the case of insurance fraud since it would make sense to why there’s so many random cars there.
He could be just letting the people who can’t keep up the payments just park it in his back yard and report it as stolen to sap some money from the insurance and give him a cut from that said paycheck.
Shady shit but sometimes you got to do what you got to do.

Title: 33 Cars
Nolan: 35 Cars
There are ways keyless entry car keys can be hacked - I've heard advice about keeping them in a metal keybox when you are at home.
Thats true and thats also advised if your key fob eats batteries. They advise 30ft minimum but with good batteries my honda odyssey can set the alarm at twice that disrance, will unlock the door at about a dozen feet, but only let you start it if youre actually in the car.
That backyard of cars reminded me of the that car park puzzle back in 2013 or something like that, I forgot the name of it though...
what about a video on return interest in porsche safari and new companies catering to the people who want them like keen project , kelly moss , tuthill etc.
2:33
My best guess would be some sort of a BMW 8 series. It doesn't have the iconic bmw M mirrors, but it does have a carbon roof, so I don't know exactly which 8 series it is 🤔
It could also be a prev gen 6 series
@@waitasecond5366
Could be, I just think the overall shape and the shape of the mirrors doesn't look like the ones on the previous 6 series coupe
@@nicolaihjort444 yeah the wing mirrors on the old 6 series are more upwards with an curve in to the frame of the car. The 8 series (as shown) is facing more away from the car at the top.
@Nicolas Mariano Gonzalez
No, the mirrors and the overall shape do not match.
The F06 has a different mirror base and the indicator is in the lower part of the mirror. However, the 8 series has this kind of mirror with the indicator sorta in the middle/top of the mirror. The F06 is also more rounded in the bonnet shape, this is not.
@@nicolaihjort444 You're on the money... It's an 8 Series. I'm guessing it's a 840i... The M850i and the M8 come with the typical M styled mirrors.

It puts the "grand theft" in auto.
I bought a transmission for my mk4 Jetta from a guy in Delaware who had about 23 jettas in his backyard, it might have been a chop shop looking back at it now
Get or install a battery Killswitch maybe? Seems easy enough to prevent the car to be stolen all together
at 2:34, the red unknown car is very likely an M840i coupe, you can easily look it up, the mirrors match.
I have heard that a lot of these cars end up in Russian hands. Perhaps the current events unfolding there have hurt the ability to fence stolen luxury goods.
I'm from germany and many of our old/used cars get exported to eastern europe (maybe russia too) and northern africa.
You got a good point with your theorie!
And with the "Special Operation" going on it could be hard to maintain the ways to get the cars in/near the country.
Let's just wait a bit and watch what the story unfolds😉
was that in the steele dossier?
not russian’s directly; it could go there, but they usually end up first in the middle east, like in saudi, UAE, or Armenia. where the easily corrupt just help everything move smoothly from shipping & handling, to registration in those countries, than finally a legitimate dealership
Na they take them to Armenia I’m pretty sure

Why would people leave their keys in their car? Is it really that inconvenient to grab them when you leave the house?
This is the confusing part to me. People leaving keys in their cars and I'm over here putting my fob in a faraday bag as soon as I get home so thieves can't use the trick where they aplify the signal from your window and have their buddy unlock and start the car.
I don't even use the fob to open the doors in case someone is using a device for a replay attack (capture and save the unlock signal so they can use it later).
People are getting more lazy in every aspect. I mean is it that hard to lift your tailgate? Do you really need it to be electrically operated? The same with tail gates on trucks.
@@scotchbonnetfk8 they can also scan your signal off you pushing your garage door opener. Then just come back at another time and activate your garage door to steal it.
@@lucasdavison5760 didn't know that, well atleast I'm good since my phone opens my garage door so I don't actually have an opener in my car
@BentoBuff yeah if you look up videos online you can see it in action. Tricks the car into thinking the key is there, low effort and quick.

Finally, a literal Wheel House
my uncle works for high end vehicle manufacturers to test their vehicle security and sometimes it takes him months to figure out how to steal a car without destroying anything, it's pretty much 100% done with computers and stuff. Sometimes he 3D prints special tools and stuff too. It's super interesting to talk to him about.
My old v6 Honda Accord was stolen by the same guy 5 times once 😂 dude drove it tell it ran out of gas then we’d find it parked at a gas station or left on the highway. Apparently had a master key that starts most 90s an 2000s Honda.
After the fifth time I would just have the guy call me when he needs to borrow the car.
@@rblbatb I mean the car was 2000$ so about a tank of gas nowadays 😂 an he stopped stealing it once I ran into a concrete wall and blew the whole back end out an bent half the parts needed for staying in a straight line. So I guess he was about the convince not the struggle 😂

How do these luxury cars in current days not have hidden random tracking devices?!
400 cannabis plants is a full time job, more than a full time job for more than one person if you want to do it with "best practices."
I think that residence was going full steamer for multiple enterprises. Could be like 10 million buried on the property to be dug up later after the investigation is over.
This level of enterprise has a boss that is completely disconnected from whoever gets caught, they would run these businesses full tilt knowing they cant operate forever, just as long as possible until some people need to take a fall.
In the UK it would normally be a Vietnamese gardener that lived in the house with the plants full time. Guess this dude was just a busy busy man if it was a one man operation. Doesn't seem likely though. I don't get why they didn't put tarps over the cars though. Cheap, easy and effective. If you've got a grow on you don't need to be attracting attention like that!
I'd imagine that you would need a key to steal some of these cars 🤷♀️
At least some of them you can pick up with a Hack RF One. Either using it as a relay to boost the signal from a key in the house to the car, or recording and replaying the transponder code. Keyless cars aren't a particularly smart purchase. Just like wireless house alarms and other such innovations. A lock requires a key, but it doesn't become obsolete, doesn't require the latest upgrades, and doesn't have bugs and exploits that need patching. While there are ways to exploit physical locks, you can impose a time and effort penalty. On a house that goes double, buy a Medeco for your front door and a bare handful of people on the planet would have a chance. Any electronic lock can be suborned with time and effort, particularly if it utilises any sort of network. Keyless entry using radio frequencies, even if it's done in a complicated manner makes it a 2 second job. That's not really what I'd call progress on the security front. I'd rather be inconvenienced a little, and have better security.
Once you get into physical and cyber security, you soon learn to distrust anything new to the market. Half the fun is everyone trying to be the first to exploit a new system or piece of hardware, and it's big business now. Companies often keep found exploits on the down low so they can sell software or hardware exploiting them to nation states and private companies. Often in contravention of embargoes. As Italy did selling IMSI catchers to the Egyptian security services to track protesters during the Arab Spring. Unethical, yes, illegal, also yes. Profitable? That's why they do it.
Give me a key and a good quality lock any day of the week, and a well concealed kill switch is a good idea, redundancy or defense in depth? You decide lol.
at 4:22 never in my life i wanna the iphone alarm again please lmao
Had a vacant corner lot in an economically challenged neighborhood that would end up with stolen, parted car bodies every time the last one was dragged off. The crime was to small for police to do anything and the person doing made deals with all the original owners to “steal” and part it. The original owner kept the insurance money. The guy got a car to part and sell. And no one investigated. Some of the cars were actually stolen, but a lot of fake steals too.
Or...
This is one of the shady entrepreneurs that makes cars voluntarily "disappear" on behalf of individuals who cannot afford the monthly payments.
"Oh ,no! I can't find my car. I think it's been stolen... No, I have 'no idea' where it is."
He gets a free car; they get the value of the vehicle; everyone wins, except the insurance company.
I feel so attacked. I have that EXACT bulky leather bound wallet:(
Same. Mine literally is busting apart at the stitching lol. Try NOT having it in your pocket for a few days, you'll prob find something feels missing at 1st, then you realize how much more comfortable it is sitting, driving, etc.. I thought minimalist wallets were dumb, trendy, limiting options... 2 weeks trying carrying wallet in my edc bag, now Im browsing "Minimalist wallets" online for a replacement lol. Some cool handmade leather styles out there too if ur not into the whole hardcover "Ridge" style.
Catch me if you can is a great movie and this most certainly was not a single dude lmao 🤣
Great work ethic
