Watch what happens to these two Mazda sedans that were either carelessly or deliberately left in illegal parking places. It appears to have been filmed in ether Russia or the Ukraine...exactly where is unclear.

Old video but yeah. Seems that these cars were illegally parked at a private property, so it was probably within the law to remove these cars in this radical way.

Two cars without plates that looks brand new ? Wrong parked and therefore destructed ? Sorry, I dont think so. More likely they were stolen or maybe flooded or had any other history that made them improper on the market.

I wouldn't count it out. A lot of stuff goes on in Russia that would probably be unacceptable by Western standards.

I believe the cars were owned by criminals and they were being destroyed.

Both cars don't seem to have rear licence plates. In addition, the silver car appears to be in neutral (it seems to roll freely, either that or first gear isn't as strong as I thought and the claw just overpowered it). They might be already destined for the crusher (for whatever reason).

Illegal parking or not, in my book, it takes as much of a criminal to destroy a car like that than to own one.

Chop shops want parts that they can use or sell.....not stuff that is already wrecked or destroyed.
