PA making money from stolen cars

From Ma'an:

Palestinian Authority police in Ramallah said on Monday they confiscated and destroyed 72 stolen cars.

The police said the cars were crushed into “iron cubes” which will be sold in an auction. The proceeds will be transferred to the ministry of finance.

So, that explains why they don't attempt to return the cars to the people they were stolen from! (And most of them are stolen from Israel.)
