5月2日，青海玉树囊谦县，一支来自内地的抵押车清收队进入藏区偷车，在拖车中途被藏族村民发现，最后车没偷到，还搭上了一辆拖车。当地藏民质疑，平时普通人的车只是因为一点小疏忽（比如没带证件、拍照遮挡或牌照问题），交警就会立即罚款甚至扣留驾驶证。而内地清收队的拖车连牌照都不挂，就能把藏民的车拖走。
On May 2, in Nangqian County, Yushu, Qinghai, a vehicle repossession crew from inland China entered a Tibetan area to seize cars. They were caught in the act by local Tibetans while towing vehicles away — and in the end, they left empty-handed and lost one of their own tow trucks in the process.
Local Tibetans raised pointed questions: ordinary people can be fined on the spot or have their licenses confiscated by traffic police for minor infractions — an missing document, obstructing a camera, or a license plate issue. Yet this inland repossession crew was operating tow trucks with no license plates at all, freely hauling away Tibetans’ vehicles without consequence.
