Trudeau’s Canada: Canadian Police Advise Leaving Car Keys in Front Door to Deter Break-Ins and Minimize Conflict with Thieves
Toronto Police Service (TPS) Constable Marco Ricciardi
In the face of an alarming rise in car thefts, Toronto Police Service (TPS) Constable Marco Ricciardi has offered a controversial tip to residents: leave car keys in the front door to avoid violent home invasions.
During a community safety meeting in Etobicoke, Constable Ricciardi addressed the issue, stating, “To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door because they’re breaking into your home to steal your car. They don’t want anything else.”
In short, don’t make it hard for thieves to steal your car. This is what an unarmed society looks like.
This suggestion has come as Toronto grapples with a car theft rate that sees a vehicle stolen every six minutes,
