While that's a start, there are more than 1000 a month stolen in Toronto proper. Hell, over the time period the operation was in effect, there were more than 1000 vehicles stolen in Unionville alone. It's a press release but they are still missing 90% of the stolen cars leaving.600 Ontario cars found in Montreal port....
Police recover $34.5M worth of stolen vehicles in shipping containers in Montreal, most of them were taken from GTA
Nearly 600 stolen vehicles have been recovered from shipping containers in the Port of Montreal over the past few months as part of an interprovincial auto theft investigation, and 75 per cent of them were stolen in Ontario.www.cp24.com
EDIT:
They broke down recovered vehicles by region. Excerpt below.
"215 - Toronto Police Service
· 58 - York Regional Police"
So using some liberty as I don't have exact numbers, something close to 7% of vehicles stolen in Toronto and ~3% of vehicles stolen in York Region were recovered. Need to 5x those numbers to make a significant dent.
EDIT 2:
Less than 1% of outgoing containers are inspected as I suspected.
