It is very gruesome to find out that some ruthless people have taken advantage of the horrible earthquake that killed and affected thousands of people in the country of Japan, which has worked its way with hard work and dedication to being a developed country. Japan was at the top in development and in every industry and the country was thriving until the horrible earthquake shook its territory with very high magnitude. The affects of the earthquake on the people only were very terrifying and so, the discovery that some people are actually stealing cars of the affected people to smuggle overseas looks really disgusting. In spite of being bad, however, it is not something novel and it happens actually in every kind of disaster. It is as if the looters around the world sit and wait for such situations to occur which would make things a lot easier for them.

After the March 11 earthquake in Japan, some people stole the damaged cars which could have been repaired easily and shipped them abroad. They took the cars apart into pieces and smuggled to foreign countries where they would have re-assembled them and sold them with high profit margins. People don’t usually enjoy such high profit margins everyday and it is only in such situations that they get to take advantage. With more than 100 cars stolen, they would certainly have earned a lot of profit by selling the cars in their own countries.

The people who had their cars stolen did not report to the authorities since they were busy mourning over the earthquake and the loss of bigger things and so, did not find it appropriate to fuss over their cars. This was the reason why the smugglers took advantage with courage and confidence as they knew it would be unlikely for them to get caught and that nobody in such trauma would pay attention to car smugglers. However, now that this issue has been discovered, the police have become very serious and are investigating the issue. Maybe in a short time, they will arrest the culprits as they should be punished for their ruthless crime.
