Car theft has surged in Toronto, so police have a new idea: Make it easier for criminals to steal your ride. | Car theft has surged in Toronto, so police have a new idea: Make it easier for criminals to steal your ride. Local officials, including cops, suggest residents leave their car keys conveniently near their front doors, explicitly for thieves to find them effortlessly. This approach aims to minimize the risk of burglars intruding into homes by tempting them with an open target -- unattended vehicles. The assumption is that with easy access to the keys, criminals may opt to take the car without fully entering the residence, potentially reducing the risk of violent encounters.Toronto Police Service Constable Marco Ricciardi made the key point at a town hall last month, saying criminals are "breaking into your home to steal your car. They don't want anything else."
