In Toronto, car owners face a growing threat of theft, with one owner taking elaborate measures to protect his SUV. Despite the surge in car thefts nationwide, Toronto has seen a 150% increase in the past six years, leading to a sense of shared concern among residents. The government is considering responses such as increasing penalties for thieves and investing in border security. The Insurance Bureau of Canada has labeled car thefts a "national crisis," with insurers paying out a record 1.2 billion Canadian dollars in theft claims in 2022. The situation has prompted innovative solutions from car owners and businesses, including increased demand for vehicle tracking systems. Despite these efforts, many victims are left traumatized and forced to consider significant lifestyle changes, such as switching jobs or purchasing new vehicles. Thieves have become increasingly sophisticated, targeting not only everyday cars but also luxury vehicles. Despite the challenges, some owners are determined to protect their vehicles, but the pervasive threat of theft has left many feeling frustrated and helpless.
