From what I understand most of the cars that are being stolen are exported to other countries. How is it so easy to export a stolen vehicle, and why isn’t a title required?

A lot of the time, specially within the EU where it’s easier to go from country to country, if they want to really mess with the quick checks, they’ll simply do a respray or swap body panels if it’s worth it. Stealing 2 cars of different colors, changing both their colors, and going to different areas that don’t necessarily have that car associated with a stolen car (also stuff like touring vs standard), can throw off the quick checks, that stop the deeper checks into VIN etc.
You can also get written off high value cars pretty cheap, and do a similar process. A written off red car, swapped with a stolen silver car, won’t trigger that quick check, and if all you had to do was respray/buy a door panel/pillar, that’s still good profit.
