I had no idea it was just that easy, rash of vehicles stolen out of the Ottawa area said to be destined for oversea's via containers.

I borrowed my buddy’s uniform from the hospital- you think it will work if I keep the keys in the pocket? Wait , I don’t have Toyota/Lexus:)

I was told you should put your keys in a metal box inside the house.

The thieves are smarter than the engineers.

Rick I love the picture as it’s a Mercedes in that ! Lol. Yes last year my “Auto Theft” friend that trains the police on auto theft mentioned this to me and to have keys like was mentioned above in a metal box or at least not by the front door.

A few years ago several Toyota highlanders were taken from owners driveways, never heard the outcome of this investigation, but no doubt very similar. The vehicles are probably in a container.
