If you live in California and recently had a Corvette, Camaro, or other high-performance car stolen, it may have ended up at a chop shop in San Joaquin County. An auto theft task force executed a search warrant there, dismantling the operation.

Chop shops sustain theft by providing a market for stolen vehicles and parts. Shutting one down strikes at the heart of the problem, offering some hope to owners and a setback to the criminals profiting from stolen cars.
