Guest: Kevin Donovan, The Star’s chief investigative reporter

With films like “Gone in 60 Seconds” to “The Fast and The Furious,” the world of car theft has been portrayed as a glamorous life full of high stakes and rollicking action. In fact, the modern car thief has high tech tools and they usually work in groups. Cars stolen in the middle of the night and are often on their way to being shipped out of the country before you even wake up. That’s what happened to journalist Kevin Donovan’s car, and despite what the authorities said and long odds, it was actually recovered. From there he dove into finding out how the world of auto theft works.
