Imagine that a rightful and legitimate owner is the one that has to be giving interview with his face covered. What world we live in.

No, car companies are *not* trying to improve security because at the end of the day car companies know if your car gets stolen, you're buying another car at some point, either by insurance or by yourself and car thieves aren't their customers so they wouldn't have gotten money from selling to them anyway.

In short, we're on our own to find solutions, don't wait for car companies to provide meaningful solutions for you.

Who in Montreal port authority is making the dough.Follow the money .

They need to make lethal security devices for vehicles, it would certainly solve the problem much faster.

Canada is the best country to live if you're a criminal

Props to the owners who thought of that idea 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Drugs used to be the lucrative business, but the problem is, the penalties for dealing drugs is very steep. Car theft, on the other hand, is just as profitable and worth the risk. Maybe they should consider increasing the sentences for car theft?

A smart serial killer would just buy or rent the more highly stolen cars..park them in a no cam area and just wait for his victims to come. Win Win!

[Doug-zlnb]

Thank you government you're the cause

[brently]

Take away the people's ability to defend themselves this is what you get

Am I the only one hoping this guy was an electrician?

Don't you all think everything is managed that's why it's easy to steal the car from anywhere in Canada, easy to take it to dockyard via road, then no security check up or clearance at sea level and car is gone. Dont you all think, not just thieves but system is also helping them.

[Salisky]

If they really wanted to put an end to this, all the government has to do to do is implement a little known law called castle doctrine.

[j.barren]

I also found a way. I bought a K-car. I could leave it parked anywhere with the doors unlocked and the keys in the ignition.

Yes, many levels of security help to prevent car thieves but it could also be inconvenience for the the owner to go through disabling all these extra securities before he/she can drive use it.

[dfls]

Wow...the lone police officer approaching very likely armed car thieves empty handed in the night.

[jeremyscott]

So he didn’t leave the keys by the front door🫢

[freedomfreedom]

Time to apply the law and deter these non Canadians from 💬 ng this is a free for all

[Mojo]

If only the accountability aspect was severe enough (or even just existent in some places) to make most rethink being a scumbag thief. Historically everywhere, or currently in some parts of the world it seems to be quite a bit different.

[guddisgoodeats]

When do we state blaming the car manufacturers...its clearly their fault with their built in "security system"
