plain talk: How do they know that? LOL
Maybe the good constable will soon also advise homeowners to throw their womenfolk out onto the front porch, so as to dissuade home invaders from breaking in. After all: They only want your womenfolk!

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, a costly crime spree racking up nearly $1 billion annually, according to the Canadian Finance and Leasing Association (CFLA).
Toronto has witnessed a 400% surge in home invasions and break-ins for auto thefts, underscoring a troubling trend of increased violence and the use of firearms by criminals targeting vehicles, Global News reported.
Toronto Police Service released the following statement:
An officer at a recent community meeting suggested that people leave the keys to their vehicle in a faraday bag by the front door. While well meaning, there are also other ways to prevent auto theft motivated home invasions. For additional context, in Toronto, home invasions and break and enters for auto theft occurrences rose 400 percent in 2023. Police are concerned about an escalation in violence, where all sorts of weapons and firearms are being used to steal vehicles, and that includes during home invasions. While Toronto Police have always advised the public to prioritize your safety over your vehicle, here are ways members of the public can protect themselves, their homes and their vehicles:

How about beating them with baseball bats instead?

Set up bombs in the cars. When the key is turned...BOOM.
“Warm labat blue, see what it do.”
Perhaps you can provide the thieves with an inventory of your property and they can pick what they want. No one gets hurt.
I’ve heard of “Canadian Nice”, but this is taking it too far.
She handled it fine on the range, there was lots of booger-scaring flash and bang and smoke in the dark (we practiced that so she’d know), they’d neutralize anything she hit, and her misses wouldn’t take out the neighborhood. Wins all the way around. And she cleaned it herself after range workouts :-).
* I was in Nam most of my first. Finally saw the trend, adapted, and Mrs. U #3 and I are going on 45 years. I had a couple of 75-hour jobs, but I’ve been home every night…
True dat.
bttt

Don’t try it in a small town, that’s all I’m sayin’.
How in heavens do they shoot a moose when it bites their sister?
Why don't they leave the keys in the door to the police station, and the keys in the police car ignitions while they're at it.

Because it only applies to the serfs apparently.
The landed gentry demand it.
It’s the same gov as yours. Retarded yes.
In Alberta, we’re having a heyday with this one.
There’s a defense against this only it requires allot of patience.
Thief: “ I’m going to take your car eh.”
Victim: “So that’s your plan A?”
T: “That is my plan eh.”
V: “Eh?”
T: “Eh.”
This exchange can go on as long as the victim can keep it up. The thief will get bored and leave as the word “eh” must get a response under Canadian law.
Alberta might beat you to it. We’re pretty fed up.
This actually has almost nothing to do with Justin Trudeau. Police in Toronto are managed by the city of Toronto; the current mayor is a socialist but not from the Liberal Party. The provincial police are managed by the Ontario government which says it is Conservative (but has acted like slow-motion globalists on most issues).
There is a federal police force but it does not have any active responsibility in Ontario, just in some western provinces, although some cities in western Canada have independent police forces also.
Where the Trudeau government could be blamed is for the weak intel response to well-organized car theft gangs who are harvesting vehicles for rapid overseas shipments out of Canadian ports. You have a porous border in one direction, apparently ours is designed to be porous in the other direction for stolen vehicles.
As to the suggestion to leave keys near the front door, I suppose the logic of that would say, leave them in an envelope on the car’s front window, and perhaps include the recent repairs so that next owner in third world can gain valuable info, I would leave a big raft of repair bills and perhaps they would leave the car alone. (jk)
Actually I think almost everyone who heard this advice ignored it, police guy was probably thinking, “oh no, don’t force us to become police.”
I welcome these absurdities because it’s creating hope that low-info voters will start to realize they have been conned (by all three levels of gov’t in most cases). Globalist bad ideas only interfere in our lives because people vote for them, if they were rejected by voters, globalist ideas would sink out of sight and be like the views of a flat earth society or levitation.
I hate to say this ,but that is coming to a neighborhood near you, right here in the good old USA. One big difference is the second amendment. It’s going to get ugly folks ,hold on to your ammo.
keep going with Fidelito hosers,
of course they will
