Équité is an independent organization that works with insurers and law enforcement to help prevent auto theft and insurance fraud in Canada.
Auto theft reached an historical high in 2022 with Ontario increasing by 48% and Quebec up 50%. The Association says, the proceeds from auto theft are known to fund organized crime and terrorism, both domestically and internationally.
For the first time in history, Canada’s private auto insurers had $1.2 billion in theft claims in 2022. Canadian are paying more to cover the costs of auto theft at a time when inflation and affordability are putting a strain on Canadians.

In Canada, you get arrested, charged, let out on bail and then get your case dismissed because it took too long to get to trial. That’s for everything from car-theft to more serious crime. If you do get convicted and sentenced to prison, you get let on parole after only a portion of your sentence is served. And we wonder why the criminals come here first…

[charlesdudek]

They should be catching them at the ports. Kind of hard to smuggle something as big as a car.If they really want to stop it they should put more law enforcement at the ports. And/or change their tactics.

Organized crime on this scale cannot take place without the involvement of officials. Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.

Thank you so much for making this video. I really like your honest, unfiltered videos. Coming back to the topic, our Toyota Highlander Hybrid 2023 model got stolen just yesterday and it happened in less than 3 mins in Toronto. Now instead of looking for a car that we love to keep, we are forced to choose a car that’s not on the list. The car theft is just outrageous now.

Someone I know had one of these cars on this list that was recently stolen right from their driveway in the middle of the night like around 2:30 AM in a suburb of Montreal (West Island). They just happened to get up in the middle of the night and noticed the car was missing. They called the police who said that it would take about 2 hours for them to arrive at their house to complete a report. They had placed 3 Apple AirTags in their vehicle and rather than wait for the police they decided to be pro-acitve and check the location of their car. They noticed that 1 of the AirTags was missing and the other 2 were still active. They traced to a street in about 1/2 hour away from their home. They had their key fob with them and retrieve their "stolen" car. So what's is happening here? The thieves park the car on a random street and wait to see if it is retrieved after 24 hours. if it is then they know that they were not caught where they were going to ship out the car involving the police. If however the car is not retrieved after 24 - 48 hours, they figure it's safe to move the car to their location where the prep the car to have it shipped overseas. Usually these cars end up in either eastern Europe or Africa and because Canadians and Americans tend to take care of their vehicles, these vehicles are in much better shape than say cars from London or Paris that have a lot of scratches and even damage from parking.

The question how they shipped stolen cars to outside Canada? Anybody can ship anything to any part of the world without any control, I don’t understand

[RigiLiquid]

So buy a manual transmission VW, and don't buy a Accord, CRV, Ram, Charger, F150, Q50, Lexus RX, Challenger, Highlander, Civic, Grand Cherokee, Range Rover, Sportage, GMC Sierra, Chevy Silverado, BMW X6, Wrangler, Camry, Altima, most Japanese cars, American trucks, or any Kia.

What I want to know is what kind of punishment do these people get for stealing cars? They gotta make the punishment more harsh like fifteen years behind bars.

[hipnoticsue]

Wanted to get a 2021 RX 350 but because if the high theft here in Toronto we decided to go with the Q5! Insurance cost was also going to be significantly more with the RX!

[calincalina]

Manual transmission ? What the heck is that ?. Everyone is doing away with, I do drive a 2005 Camry SE with manual transmission, and last year bought a 22 Tacoma TRD Sport with manual transmission as well. Both are keyed entries and start. Hoping that manual transmission will be around for the forseable future . Cheers all.

Amazing and informative video- thanks Andrea and Zack for making this video to educate people on vehicles that are up for thefts

I have a 21’RX350 fully loaded living in Toronto - it was stolen back in February then it was found in the port of Montreal. Then after months of waiting for repairs - parked the car at a mall and it was attempted to be stolen again via the left headlight. Repairs are $600. Now again someone tried stealing it in a cineplex parking lot - resulting in the same $600 repair fix. Only reason I still have my car is because of the IGLA system that I installed in my car after thorough research. Also I have a friend down the street who had the same car unfortunately she wasn’t able to retrieve her vehicle and another family friend that had 3 Lexus’s on his driveway because it was a family gathering - all 3 were gone!!! These thefts are no joke in Canada - the authorities don’t seem to care enough to change the laws cause it seems to be the same offenders re offending. I spoke with a constable here and he caught the same guy 3 times after charging him for vehicle theft. Lord protect us and stay safe✝️!

Well, can’t say I disagree with the CR-V in Canada being top of the list, as I know two people close to me who each had one stolen in the past year, here in Southern Ontario. Our next door neighbour had their (2019?) stolen a few months ago while at work in Brampton, and a few months before that my wife’s cousin had her brand new (2022?) fully loaded CR-V stolen from the street parked in front of her house in Trenton. Fortunately, the police ended up locating my wife’s cousin’s CR-V about about a week or two later; it was found a few blocks away basically undamaged other than the GPS/telematics wires had been cut and disabled, so the thieves knew what they were doing… so she just had to have those wires fixed. Guess they must have got spooked or something.

Best steps to take is park in the garage if/when possible and hide a couple trackers like AirTags in your car… or maybe just buy a manual transmission vehicle. 😂

If the reward is always available, they will find a way regardless of what manufactures do. 100% of this falls on the shoulders of our government and police agencies. They must remove the incentive and the issue will fix itself.

[Cats_Are_Scary]

Auto insurance in California is through the roof. All these jerks rasing our rates by stealing all these cars.

[emilyallan]

My 2022 Honda CRV was stolen this past March from my driveway 😩 it took them 1 minutes to steal it. I also spent a year watching your videos and researching and then 8 months waiting for the car.

[OFOFBORG]

I am not completely surprised of all the vehicles you listed are stolen. My former co-worker has his pickup truck stolen not once but twice! Also some of it had be stolen from the store’s parking lot as well. Good show guys! ☕️☕️

[Ciggars]

my Q50 which i bought in the U.S has been stolen and it turned out that it was shipped in South Africa. Thank god for comprehensive coverage i manage to get something else because insurance pays the current value or actual cash value of the vehicle

[leeandrews]

In my area, Ontario GTA, Oakville/Burlington, its stolen Range Rovers and Lexus RX350's every week!

[avirgilio]

I believe the number one theft deterrent is PARK IN THE GARAGE!! I live in a well to do area with many 3 car garage homes. Gues what? All the cars are on the driveway because the garage is being used a massive storage locker. I'll never get this. Is it laziness, complacency or pure ignorance that living in a well to do area is somehow a safe place for theft not to happen
