In Toronto, the Police Services advise the population to be safe and respectful to the theives.

They ask you to keep the engine running with the Heater on since it is still colder outside. TPS asks you to leave your proof of car insurance and registration in your glove compartment. They also ask that you make sure you have a full tank of gas or full charge in an electric vehicle. TPS asks that you leave a history of the car in your glove box. To be a considerate Canadian, TPS asks you to leave a gift card worth $500 and a Tim Hortons Card on the front seat.

The single best thing auto makers can do is to let owners turn off the hands free operation for the door locks. In other words, you would have to use the buttons on the remote to remotely unlock the vehicle. Some already offer that, but all should have that option. It's not foolproof, someone could intercept the signal if they were nearby when you push the button, but it would still be a big improvement over the hands free system.

[@joshm3342]

Please tell us which automakers offer this option. Toyota Camry 2021 has a way to turn it off, but you need to do it each time you lock the car.

I am glad to see that you have listed the "Club". Just because it is extremely "low tech" does not mean it is ineffective against most car thefts. The "Club" is an add-on highly visible protective device that will discourage a number of individuals from trying to steal your car. There is no device nor method that is 100% perfect against a car being stolen if the thief has the means, motive and opportunity to do so. I bought the "Club" in 1996 after witnessing a classmate's car being stolen. So far none of my cars have been stolen since using the "Club". Another, even better, method I saw being used to deter car theft was the removal of the steeling wheel. This method will overcome nearly all attempts by car thieves. What thief is going to carry a steering wheel of the car he wishes to steal?

[@john4385]

I've used a Club for many years. Having an old car is also very effective..!!

[@mahery_ranaivoson]

You guys are using which club brand? I'm trying to find one more stronger but I gave up after reading some reviews.

Who was the put on their steering wheel every time they have to drive their car? That can't be easy to remove especially on these new cars with all those computer technology! My steering wheel moves up and down as I get in and out the car there's no way I would be able to remove the steering wheel every time I would want to get out the car..

There's a reason the Ford SuperDuty gets stolen so often. The owner's of those things leave the diesel models idling rather than shutting them down. I've seen at least four stolen because of it. Owner pulls into lot, gets out leaving it running and goes in store. Different person walks up, climbs in and drives away.

[@mrman-gb6uz]

Unfortunately in many big cities with high crime rates, when an arrest is made, the court systems will usually treat an auto theft arrest as the equivalent of a shoplifter. Nothing more than probation or a slap on the wrist especially in the case of a juvenile. If restitution is ordered, more than likely the victim whose vehicle was damaged will likely never see a dime from the thief. Absolutely nothing to deter the criminal from going out and stealing again.

[@k.j.hulander2204]

On different Lexus forums, British Lexus RX 4th gen owners report that Lexus shops offer installation of a plate that protects against CANBUS hijacking in the sense of making it more difficult to access the system. Do you know if Lexus in North America also offer this plate installation? If not, could you find out why? Looking at getting a used RX and I’m trying to understand what to expect.

[@davidbeckenbaugh9598]

I just spent some time trying to google that, but the only thing I came up with were LOTS of articles from the UK on the accessibility of such blockers. Most came from 2022 and about half of them were about the blockers being on back order. I have not contacted my local Toyota/Lexus dealer on this.

Also…some have had engine issues, the engine on my 2016 is also not one of the included issues. Touted mechanic channels on YT have also over generalized and not provided appropriate details. When you generalize, everyone just assumes all versions were involved during that time frame instead of researching things for themselves. I just really hate when people generalize. It does no good for consumers that have the cars and consumers looking to buy the cars. You need to be more specific. There are so many versions of each in each year. Also, any social influencer needs to be jailed when they promote crime. The more time goes on, the more evil people seem to get. I’m always grateful for the handful of good ones still around.

They use a scan device to read the code being sent by the fob/key. They have a hard time doing that if you keep the key in a faraday pouch. If you don't, they pull up to your driveway, pull out a device with an antenna on it, read your code, program it into their phone, and use the phone to open and start your car.

Our laws in canada for thieft is lenient when caught they are out in weeks

[@WhittyPics]

I wish they would go back to chipped keys. I think they are more secure than the damn wireless key fobs that most are using today. I don' have a fob with either of my cars. Crooks can use devices to pick up the frequency when you are using your fob to duplicate it and steal your car later on. How many of these vehicles are stolen because someone was warming their car up in their driveway?

[@JK_RANBIRSINGH]

When you didn't a garage then why buying these luxury vehicles... are these people high or am I smoking 🚬 something different ?

My god. Range Rovers are such piles of junk.

[@laselecta9012]

OBD port lock?

[@L.L]

It is the same as a locker lock.. 🔒 but goes over obd connection so the thief can’t connect his computer to your car.

[@fremontpathfinder8463]

Don't port officials check each car?

In Syracuse New York Kias and Hyundais are being stolen almost every day.

[@MissChloeCampbell]

Yup, I can confirm. As some who lives in that area, there's a couple stories on the news each week about yet another Kia or Hyundai being stolen...

It's very easy if the manufacturer just disable the ecu making cars duds when they get stolen. Because right now cars and car manufacturers are collecting huge data and selling them.

[@user-ts7ns7bt2v]

In Canada it’s wrong to leave your keys out you are liable in 2018 but in 2024 you must leave them out. What’s it like to be Canadian? Bad I guess. If you say that will you get arrested. Is Canada a real nation? Do people up there have free will?

[@grimacemcccheese]

Our police chief recommended we make it easier for thieves to steal by leaving car keys at the door.

[@leecampbell9498]

You are not exactly correct on the issue of "warranty voiding" Automakers have been trying to DENY repairs to vehicles for DECADES with the claim the aftermarket product is the cause. When in fact it is not the aftermarket product that was installed by a reputable or licensed shop. I've personally proven dealership service departments WRONG many many many times in the past. And ANY reputable shop will prove that what they Installed is not the cause of the vehicle fault. And if it WAS the cause of the vehicle fault they will take care of it. But dealers can NOT just void your warranty. They can try though and they will try

[@WaterDR-tw8re]

If auto makers maker more manuals, no one COULD steal them.

[@JDMSwervo2001]

No one would buy them either lmao

[@anthonykwan2352]

That’s why I am still driving my Miata for 20 years and it’s still in top shape!

[@artdeluxxe7647]

Making more manuals will mean that more ppl will need to learn to drive manual, including thiefs. So it may just cancel out

[@codincoman9019]

Don't judge the whole world by your standards. Most people in Romania know how to drive manuals. Generalizing is stupid.

[@kevinW826]

I don’t drive manuals, but it’s not that hard to learn and swipe a car. I can get them into first and shift up to speed. Yes I’m slow on the gear changes but it’s not my car I’m driving.
