Homeowner Chases Away Thieves Trying to Steal Lexus in Pickering, Ontario

In this video, we see a brave homeowner in Pickering, Ontario, who takes matters into her own hands when she catches thieves attempting to steal her Lexus RX450 right off her driveway. The video shows the dramatic scene as the woman yelling towards the car and scares off the thieves, who quickly flee the scene.

Maryam Ali thwarted car thieves attempting a new tactic known as a CAN injection attack. When she noticed her car's headlights turning on at night, she confronted the thieves, interrupting their attempt. The surveillance video revealed the thieves targeting the headlights to access wiring, allowing them to manipulate the car's central hub and start the vehicle. This tactic, part of tech-savvy car theft methods treating cars like computers, bypasses immobilizers, a key deterrent in car theft for the past two decades. Ali's brave confrontation sheds light on evolving threats and emphasizes the need for new security standards to counter such attacks.

Those thieves have more rights in Canada than the car owner.

In Texas the owner would shoot first ask questions later

If someone touch my Lexus they getting shot. I work too hard.

This is an example of a CAN bus attack, where thieves exploit weaknesses in car security systems to gain unauthorized access to vehicles. It's worth noting that when computer operating systems have vulnerabilities, Microsoft or Apple usually release patches to address them. So why haven't car manufacturers taken responsibility for protecting consumers from high-tech car theft? It's important to get involved and send a message to your MP to request legislation that will hold automakers accountable for ensuring the security of their vehicles. Our government should take a proactive approach to this issue to prioritize the safety of drivers.

Why cant people work for what they want instead of being an useless thug

[gakuseione]

Buy a manual. Thieves don't know how to drive.

i installed an engine kill switch. worth every penny. my car will not start unless the kill switch has been unlocked. my rav4 prime is irreplaceable. i do three things when i lock my car : i turn off my fob, i lock the steering wheel with the club and i turn on the engine kill. f the thieves.

[torororororo]

Yoo these guys tried to rob my lexus too in scarborough. Same white car

[sxhmgqw]

How easy is it to force unlock a lexus! Lexus should be liable for this.

[GeneralKato]

In case of accidents (just trigger the sensors) the car always unlocks. For safety….. it’s design.

[eleanormassaro]

I noticed the vehicle in the background is also a Lexus RX. Which looks like the vehicle that the thieves came in.🤷‍♀️

[robmaiker]

This is for anyone but especially Canadians and Californians...Proactive detering theft can be low cost and very effective, as well as lawful...All thieves especially tech theives have fear being bitten by barking dogs...take time to setup motion sensors but not just lights
Setup sound motion sensors with growling- barking dogs as soon as they get 5 feet from your expensive ride, will work better than a lot of security systems they are not afraid of.
I owned 25-35lb Sheltland Sheepdogs who work like motion sensors for many years and
never had a car or home break in attempt even

My advice is invest in a house with garage first before trying to purchase a Lexus!

[dallas]

Failed to do your duty but putting them in the ground

[dchoi]

$2500(CAD) is all you need to almost guarantee your car will never be stolen. Install an IGLA (electronic kill switch) and a Compustar Pro T13. Undefeatable combo. They’d have to literally tow your car (and they’d have to not give two f*cks about the alarm and lights blaring while towing).

[DM-bysr]

This is why I keep my car in the garage.

[L.L]

How do you unlock a door from the front light ? That is impressive

[bensonwu]

Without the news, I will never know how crazy are the car thieves.

[admiralbeez]

Avoid buying the top five most stolen makes in USA/Canada: Acura/Honda, Lexus/Toyota, Jeep/Dodge, Land Rover and Ford. Next, use a steering wheel club lock. And if you can, stick to older vehicles with physical, metal ignition keys - you can still get nice VWs, Nissan, Subarus, GM and others from 2018 or so thus equipped. This will decrease the odds of your car being stolen. Bonus points if you drive a manual transmission. For example, no one in Africa wants your 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander with 2wd and manual shift.

if they knew you were armed would they have shown up at all?
