There’s a big problem with car thefts up in Canada . . . and not just from parking lots and public streets. It’s apparently armed thieves breaking into people’s homes, and demanding their keys.
And the police in Toronto have some unusual advice. At a recent community meeting, one constable said, “To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your [key] fobs at your front door . . .
“They’re breaking into your home to steal your car. They don’t want anything else.”
In the meeting, he seemed to be speaking to mostly elderly folks, which makes some sense . . . like, okay, avoid a violent confrontation . . . but still, how is this the best option?
There’s also a video that’s going viral in Canada, of someone who left a sign on their car saying, “Dear Mr. Robber, please do not break my car window. The door is open. Have a great day.”
