According to the

Khaleej Times, Dubai residents who’ve had their luxury cars confiscated as stolen vehicles have found (bought?) a
champion in the U.A.E.’s Attorney General. He’s ordered the police to return the cars to their most recent (if not
rightful) owners. The police are declining, saying they’ll continue to hold the vehicles as part of an ongoing Interpol

thievery.
