Canadian Police Tell Residents To Leave Car Keys On Front Porch For Thieves, Then Backtracks
Canadian police are now backtracking on the advice they gave citizens in February where they were told to leave their car keys on the front porch to prevent home invasions.
Let's go to Canada where a story about Toronto police advising people to leave their car keys at the front door to prevent thieves from kicking in their front doors was so absurd that I had to make sure I wasn't being deep faked by some AI #fakenews outlet.
"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," Toronto Police Constable Marco Ricciardi said at a February safety meeting attended by residents who are being terrorized by Canadian scumbags.
Wednesday night, Toronto police confirmed (it's the official account, I triple-checked) Ricciardi's advice is real and isn't some AI-generated #fakenews.
"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 better ways to prevent auto theft motivated home invasions," Toronto police told citizens via a tweet that has been viewed 21,000 times. There are six million people living in the Toronto metro region.
It its Wednesday night press release, the Toronto PD noted that "home invasions and break and enters for auto theft occurrences" were up 400% 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," the department wrote.
The new safety advice from the police includes:
- Park vehicles in garage, if possible
- Ensure your driveway is well lit and keep exterior lights on all night
- Security cameras are an asset
- If possible, install a home security system – activate alarm on STAY when home and AWAY when out
- Consider having a motion detection alarm connected to your cell phone
- Put security film on glass windows and doors
- Have multipoint door locks on your doors
- Keep backyard gates locked and ground windows secured
- Do not post on social media when you will be away on holiday
- Report suspicious vehicles/persons in the neighbourhood to police
How bad is auto theft in Canada right now? A car is stolen every six minutes, according to the Canadian Finance and Leasing Association.
Can't you just shoot home invaders in Canada to end the threat? Hahahahahaha. Let's go back to 2023 and the case of Ali Mian, a 22-year-old who watched a scumbag break into his home and attack his mother. Mian shot one of the lowlifes.
The Canadian government arrested Mian on a second-degree murder charge that was eventually dropped by the government, but not before the man had to deal with the fiancial and emotion toll from such a case.
"He shouldn't be charged with murder for protecting his mother from someone that broke into his home," Mian's lawyer Jag Virk told media outlets.
"His intention was not to kill the intruder, he only shot at him once. We are all saddened that the intruder passed away as a result of being shot."
