Thank You for the Tutorial! 😍 1. No need to go to LA for a tutorial. Y'all should have came to South Shore Montreal or Brampton. 2. Honda CRVs are the top stolen cars in Canada right now. People keep buying them. Honda isn't doing much to stop this (>2023 have patched this). 3. Push to Start SUVs are the easiest. A TAG sticker is an easy deterrent. So is an age of >10 years and a manual transmission. 4. The risk/reward ratio is favourable, as the cops target law abiding citizens who do 120 kmh instead of 119, gamble with the parking signs, and forget their doors unlocked. The penalties aren't severe enough for theives who usually a) One Picks the Lock and leaves the car unlocked b) Another comes and plugs in the OBDII port a tablet running a legitimate entreprise account c) another steals the plate of a matching car d) the car is used for crime jobs where the actual owner is held liable (like that Mall Drive) e) after the crime, the car gets burned, or stripped for parts f) A Quebec car arrives in Nigeria.

Journeymen mechanic here, the old cars you can literally steal, with a good thief, in less than 2 minites. The key simply moved a geared rail with contacts that will operate all power functions on your ignition, there were some models starting from the 90s to the 2000s that had a specific resistor figure that had to be seen, key pass, so even though the ignition lock would turn, the immobilizer would not allow the car to start.

Avoid buying the top five most stolen makes in Canada: Acura/Honda, Lexus/Toyota, Jeep/Dodge, Land Rover and Ford. Next, use a steering wheel club lock. And if you can, stick to older vehicles with physical, metal ignition keys - you can still get nice VWs, Nissan, Subarus, GM and others from 2018 or so thus equipped. This will decrease the odds of your car being stolen. Bonus points if you drive a manual transmission. For example, no one in Africa wants your 2017 Mitsubishi RVR with 2wd and manual shift.

"Car makers are working on it". Are they? First, it costs them a lot of money to develop new anti-theft systems (not worth it for them). Second, if the stolen car is a lease or a finance, which it almost always is going to be, since it has full coverage, the car manufacturer gets paid out by the insurance company and the owner ends up buying another new vehicle. Win-win for the car manufacturer.

if you are going to do that, you'd be better off taking the starter motor/fuel pump relay out of the car (should be located behind a kickpanel in the driver side), just as time consuming with the benefit of the theif having to diagnose the problem befor driving away. 99% of the time, they won't figure it out. steering locks are not hard to break, a bit of brute force, and they usually collapse fairly quickly. I had to remove my own when I snapped the key, and I was surprised how little effort it took.

Clue: it's because there's no consumer protection law FORCING the manufacturers to improve their security. If they were held liable for replacing stolen cars, they'd damn well improve security tomorrow.

There should be class action suits agains Automakers. May be Insurance providers too. Its good business for automakers as victims will have to purchase another car. Insurance providers increase premiums to maintain profits. Consumers are the ones who lose big time as the 1-2 year old car has depreciated. 5 years minimum for stealing a car, 10 years for car jacking. 1 year additional per car, (if you are the brains of the activity you get 5+ number of cars). If car thefts are reduced, automanufacturers and Insurance Providers should foot the bill for prisons.

I've got a 1990 Mitsub. wagon. Never lock it. Had it 17 years, come July. Never broken down. Have done serious travelling in Oz, from Cairns to Hobart. Can do 140 ks with a full load on board for passing. Cruises at 110ks no dramas; like it's not even trying @ 2000 rpm. Still get the same economy I did in '07. 12 lts per 100ks around town. 9.5 on a trip. Wait for this: the head has never been off since I've owned it. Doesn't blow smoke. Uses about 200mls of oil every two or three months. Not an oil leak to be seen. Keep your new 'jelly bean' cars; I'm not the slightest bit interested! Paid $400 for it. $7K in maintainence in 17 years. Go figure?!

People (every insurance policy holders) pay for stolen cars via insurance. When insurance companies have more revenue government makes more tax money. When a vehicle is stolen another car is purchased, again tax is collected. Another car sold for the auto makers. No incentives for them to do anything. We are paying and crying.

I used to hear of guys who would pay someone to steal their car for the insurance money. Today it is the opposite. I want MY CAR I don't want the money ( you will never get the same vehicle you have right now) Never. God forbid you hurt anyone who is actually stealing your vehicle. YOU will be going to jail/ and probably get no bail And get beaten up while you are in jail. Everything today in Justin's world is upside down. There is a reason for that. But not today/ not here.

I’ve been a mechanic for 45 years, back when I started I had a good friend with lock out kit who was a tow truck driver. These “slim Jim’s” were not readily available to everyone, then they were. Manufacturers of cars made using then more difficult but it was a case of practice makes perfect. Funny thing with todays cars all you need is something to pry the window a bit and a long rod. All the extra protection around the lock and latch mechanism is now mute. The age of computers has fast bypassed all manufacturers attempts of anti-theft. My tow truck buddy and I , not techy but mechanically inclined could by pass door locks , now computer hackers bypass the whole lock and ignition systems. We would often comment those hackers were disgruntled engineers that invented the systems them designed a boot leg version to sell to thieves.

@@juliogonzo2718For Taurus. YES The ford TAURUS unlocks like a GM truck.Flat head screw driver.Well there are 2 ways Either you force your screw driver into the keyhole then you hit the end of the screw driver the lock gets "pushed in" and you turn it.OR use a flat head and pray it up and down real hard until it unlocks. But yes the door nor window is easily seperated.Not like a CIVIC or SUBURU those you stick your arm in the car to unlocl it.

This is more like Canada was target due to her weak system. Insurance company just pass over the cost to customer, they just don't care. How a big car can illegally and quickly export to other country. It all about our system are sick. Our old age pension system is the same example, many many people abuse the system and steal money from all tax payer and no one care about it. A person already disappear from Canada, the pension still automatically deposite money to their bank account. Because no need to renew it forever.

the only way to stop this is to work with other countries... telling them any car ship to those countries should be verify by those port for any possible stolen cars.. another way is to set up a base in those countries then get every vehicle ship down there with their Vn for any possible stolen cars... best advice. lastly anyone buying vehicle from any dealers in those countries has to verify history about the car before buying and when you are registering any vehicle at the motor vehicle the agency has to verify the car for possible stolen before issuing plate.. trust me thats another way of creating employment in those countries...

Don't blame cars, it's not the car problem, it's gov turning blind eyes to ports, letting cars being ship off to Africa. Are you going to force car manufactures to make cars tougher to steal? making it more expensive to buy cars? are we going to have to buy thousands in to after market anti-theft devices? higher insurance rate? all because government doesn't want to fix the ports... If your car is on the wish list for Nigerian buyer, there is nothing you can do to prevent it. They'll bring flatbed truck and take it right out of your garage.

There needs to be a way to sync your car to your phone allowing you to put your car in "sleep mode" which means if the car is turned on, or detected to be in motion, your phone gets alerted and you can have the option to shut it down.. or if the car goes out of range of your cell phone during this setting being on, it shuts down automatically. Could also get phone alerts if your car door is opened, etc. I'm sure this technology could exist after seeing all this other technology.. it seems like such an easy solution.
