Malaysian police have begun efforts to recover and return dozens of cars believed to have been stolen in the country and smuggled across the border to Thailand.

This week Malaysian officers travelled to the border town of Sungai Kolok to inspect vehicles seized by Thai authorities there.

A total of 110 cars had been impounded at Sungai Kolok for months, the New Straits Times, a Malaysian daily newspaper, reported on Saturday.

Vehicles stolen in Malaysia found back in southern Thailand. Can we assume stolen by Malaysian citizens in Malaysia? Yes? How did (at least) 180 vehicles (tip of the iceberg?) cross the most secured and patrolled border of Thailand? And what about the many reckon flights over the deep South not spotting 'a few' vehicles parked long time at some spots? Would it be possible without the complicity of A LOT of Thai officials? When Thai officials'd be involved, 'case closed' here for sure anyway...
PS: Why bring the vehicles to Thailand? Because of the lawlessness here? Or?

"This could take up to a month or more." Unlike in THEnglish, in English, we would say; "This could take more than a month."
