The car was recovered in Umbumbulu.

According to AutoTrader, the Toyota Corolla Cross is the fastest-climbing model on the list of the most stolen cars in the country. Its appeal to thieves and hijackers is driven by its commercial success, which has created a lucrative black market for its parts.
