Among the abandoned warehouses and the silence of the industrial area on the border between Arzano and Casoria, under the ramps of the Asse Mediano, a new symbol of illegality and degradation is hidden: a real cemetery of stolen cars.
Gutted carcasses, perfectly dismantled pieces, remnants of recent dismantlings. It's the most brutal face of a criminal phenomenon that continues to plague the area north of Naples, transforming forgotten swathes of land into clandestine workshops and parking lots of fear.
To reach the outrage just take via Pietro Nenni Casoria and head towards the former ACTP depot. Here, where vegetation blends with concrete and the silence is broken only by the sounds of the ring road, the thieves operate undisturbed.
They dismantle the cars in record time, leave them cannibalized in the garbage or hide them temporarily while waiting for negotiations for the so-called "return horses".
The complaints are plentiful: exasperated citizens, environmental groups, and local committees have been raising alarms for months, all unheeded. Those wrecks are not only clear evidence of a well-established criminal system, but also the ongoing disfigurement of a territory that demands safety and respect. The problem is well-known and visible, but responses are slow to arrive. Meanwhile, cars continue to disappear from the streets and reappear, dismantled and abandoned, among the undergrowth.

I agree with what was said. The situation is truly worrying, and I don't understand why more effective action isn't being taken. There are many complaints, but solutions seem far away. We need to act now.
The article is interesting, but it seems to me that the measures taken to combat the problem of stolen cars are insufficient. The authorities must do more to protect the community and restore order in the area. More security is needed.
