US != everywhere.

They do target expensive cars in other counties.

As I said earlier, I have firsthand experience of this being the case.

> Thieves target what's easy to take and easy to chop up and sell, not luxury cars with high resale value.

You’re just proving my point here though. Thieves target cars that have the highest resale value.

Whether that’s as a whole, or for parts where the supply chain for genuine parts has become extremely expensive.

Organised crime happens for money.

Yeah there will there will be a subsection of society that steal cars for shits and giggles. But those also aren’t the sort of motives for hackers who’d go after Microsoft Sharepoint. So if we are to compare like-for-like, then you have to discuss organised crime rather than bored teenagers.

By the way, I love how your username is accidentally appropriate for this conversation :D
