[@jgboys1]

The sad thing is that the people doing this and getting caught are probably out of jail the next day to cause more havoc.

[@jagv12m]

This will continue until heavy jail time is given .these actions will stop once no bond hold is introduced

[@lonniebaines1720]

WHAT'S NEEDED IS STRICTER LAWS.....IF CAUGHT 10 - 15 YEARS AUTOMATIC....

[@notmebutyou8350]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@JW-mz1fp]

how about the Death Penalty this would stop overnight.?

[@nmr20067]

Elections have consequences……

[@georgetirebiter6437]

Put your key fob in a metal case. This will prevent replay attacks and key duplication.

[@jamiesmith4293]

For the convenience of keyless entry/ignition, we have to inconvenience ourselves to protect it from theft.

[@anthonyhebert-trudeau6995]

These are some amazing tips: lock your car, if you have a garage; use it.. Thank you!

[@neilsimmons9582]

lol

[@wisdomSP]

You do know they can start a Kia with a USB plug, right? That should be the story. Google it. 🤔

[@Kurumifan15]

Yeah. They didn’t give much details.

[@manuelvazquez8758]

All these crimes will continue and get worse because the system is soft on crime.

[@teacuppie4881]

Yeah because it's not just cars now. The retail chains are taking hits too. Walmart and Target locking their merch up. Then there are thieves that are taking package off someone's own porch. They need 5 years in life plus 2 years of community service

[@HappyBuffalo-ky9ni]

Drive a manual. That’s how you keep it from being stolen.

[@topofthegreen]

I know, what if we punished criminals and put them in prison.

[@cggg490]

This video offered zero advice on how to prevent your car from being stolen. Don’t bother watching.

[@bradrose9407]

They use to sell a device that locks to your steering wheel and brake

[@spacex2643]

Because we are lazy ? 😂😂. Because the government and the police didn’t protect our property , didn’t hit the criminals hard.

[@rara1800]

I can’t imagine someone wouldn’t take their car key with them

[@Karma-hy6ki]

I’m surprised he didn’t mention a faraday box so that thieves can’t use ur key fob to open the car

[@alphaboy1872]

My shotgun rides shotgun.

[@roselilly5411]

Catch and release

[@fok8810]

my car was stolen recently it was a pos impala they most likely couldnt figure out my cursed a/c system and the humid weather here from the farmland most likey caused them to fog up and crash into something which destroyed my tire. funny enough they brought it back and left it nearby my apartment

[@momoknows]

Bring Back The Trunk Monkey!!😎

[@shad0wCh8ser]

If someone bumps my car, I put it in park, turn off the engine, get out (lock the door) and walk straight to the back of their car and take a pic of their license plate then call cops before I even speak to anyone -also, manual. And if they act up, I'm throwing thumb tack in front of their tires. But if you really want your car to be thief proof, stick wires out of the ac controller and put a sign that says broken ac. lol I once had a car that had no radio, no ac, and no power steering. It sucked bc we 100º - 106º summers while commuting to school but I never had to worry about someone messing with it.

[@mindywilliams1225]

Who would of thought !

[@ms.congeniality3976]

Is my Toyota Corrolla safe ? I know it’s not a Benz I’m just so scarred nowadays with the car jackings 😢.

[@Official_Baba_yaga]

You got one of the brands very common in africa. Especially the RAV4 and corollas! If you have a local crime ring that steals vehicles to be shipped to africa , your car is at risk.

[@westbccoast]

Remove the garage code with the number pad on the outside completely, you don't need it, use your phone to open you garage instead. Don't make it easy for them.

[@supergirl109]

Live in a fenced yard with gate and lock can help. Somewhere private

[@Official_Baba_yaga]

Talking of fenced yards , i just saw a video where car thieves just ploughed through the gate. They can use you car or bring a disposbale car to ram the gate!

[@javier7717]

Anyone else notice the car thieves are citizens of Wakanda.

[@tjj5337]

WHO LEAVES KEYS IN THEIR CAR? DUH!

[@SHOWGAMER-]

[@BobSmith-ss2eb]

[@jyc313]

Stop with these no duh tips

[@solomonmaluleke9013]

😂

[@zachanikwano]

I thought it was just dumb tik tok kids?

[@debbie5728]

Move out of a democrat run city/urban core jurisdiction?

[@Darthdad72]

Because you know Democracy is a bad thing. Hooray for Communism right! SMH

[@jorgepagan6784]

Totally agree

[@christopherchi9230]

Those democrats turn their heads the other way and say that everything is under control.

[@jonathan_brazile]

This is useless information

[@markmedley6849]

You can thank one political party for this.

[@thanosianthemadtitanic]

1. live in a lightcolored area.

[@venchyluxe5740]

Tip no.1 Don't buy a Honda
