A Swedish-owned site makes it possible for anyone to search for over fifty car brands and associated series models down to the smallest detail.
"This service makes it easy for criminals to identify direct objects to steal. Our customers are exposed as objects of the thefts," says Ann Hassel Tano, Head of Research at the insurance company If.
The user can obtain specific information about the vehicle and also its owner. A feature that, according to Ann Hassel Tano, makes it easier for criminal networks to map and steal attractive cars.
Should be helpful before buying a car
Behind the site is CEO Christian Nilsson, who doubts that the tool would make it easier for criminals to commit car crimes.
"Stealing cars today is not always easy, it takes quite a lot of effort," says Christian Nilsson.
He explains that the purpose of the service is, for example, to be able to help users before a car purchase.
Can you see how the service could be used for theft?
"Theoretically, yes it can, but it's very unlikely," says Christian Nilsson.
