It’s almost comical that everyone knows exactly where the cars are going in order to leave the country, and they do next to nothing about it.
there is a culture of complacency in this country. the previous cbc report from ghana was saying how the FBI had contacted ghanian officials about car thefts but not RCMP. also, the govt agencieshave a culture of 'this isnt my problem'. i remember when i was in immigration-custom enforcement and i couldnt find an agency to take responsibility for the ports. they all say they have a partial role at the ports and for me to ask another agency
also: something im doing in my neighbourhood and suggestion to residents, set up neighbourhood watch groups. have ppl walking around neighbourhood at night. do not rely on technology or expect regular police patrols
Last year 1,054,499 containers left the Montreal ports. The current funding doesn't meet the requirements to search half of them. Unless you want to pay more taxes, nothing will change.
not everything has to be solved through taxes. these criminal groups use youth to steal cars. toughen sentencing for them. also, you dont deal with this issue, your auto insurance rates will only go up@@Dstinct
Thats Canada! Do we still know anything about the Nova Scotia massacre years ago?? Nope
Funny eh trudeau wants insurance rates to go up in line with everything else
Minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years in jail is the only solution.
seriously? not even murderers spend 10 years in jail.
Jails are full no space
Caning
Japan gives out 10 year sentences for car robbers, which is higher than some of their sentences equivalent to our manslaughter charges. Singapore has similar laws. Both high-income, well functioning countries, so why can't we do it? Obviously whatever we are doing isn't working since so many of these car robbers end up re-offending@@ihategooglesomuch
@@awfan221 Japan is a more evolved country than Canada, and the citizens have more integrity. there are probably far fewer thefts there.
failure of legal system.
Damn shame.
When you allow garbage in, thats what happens. 40 years ago, people in ontario would have their doors unlocked at night and no worries about theft. Now you see thieves everywhere.
Failure of immigration
A country with a joke for a justice system.
It is too busy prosecuting the truckers.
@@TheSvRoma Yep you got that right no consequences for the ones at the top or the bottom only for the middle class working people.
A country with a cost of living problem too, more people resorting to theft in order to live.
@@chrishamilton4583 That not a good solution to steal from ppl who the same cost of living problem as the thieves
@@TheSvRoma never said it was a solution just a fact of reality.
Start going after the shipping companies, no more off site loading and pass the cost on the people shipping things in containers.
Australia has a similar fine of $200000 for every stolen vehicle to the shipping company
That's what happens when there are no penalties for crime and you treat the criminal like a victim and the victims like they don't matter.
Can people hire lawyers to sue the federal court system? 😂

We planed to buy a Lexus hybrid suv before moving to ON, but after checking the stolen cars list, we chose a Mazda. Ironic but true story of mine.
Should have gotten a stick shift, apparently that stopped the thieves from stealing the jeep.
@@michaelp4122Valid, except most manufacturers aren't offering manuals in their vehicles now.
Well played lol
@@SimulatorsStudio It's a huge issue.
The old Mazda 5 used to come in stick... 😥
how is it ironic?
I can't believe how many people park their expensive vehicles outside their garage, but keep useless stuff nicely protected in the garage.
That's even worse, They know the car's in the garage, they will come inside the house and take it. These are all targeted. They know which cars and and which houses they need to raid.
True, but even that can't always work. I have a big truck and a small house with a single garage.
I'm in no way a Libertarian type, but the various levels of government and law enforcement are failing us.
@@rpm6391put bollard that will.keep the car in. Problem.solved
i met guys that steal cars and the best way to get luxury cars is just to go to a rich neighborhood with a lot of unprotected cars and just try the doors. alot of rich people just leave their fobs in the car. and if its in the car the doors wont lock. so you just try the door and if it opens that means the fob is in the car. you can start it and go
A smashed sunroof shouldn’t cost $15,000. That’s the real crime.
I had my side driver side glass smashed. The dealership affiliated body shop wanted to file a 2600$ claim and 2 weeks loaner (they wanted to replace nearly every component in that door claiming that the can't clean the glass off the weather strip, regulator, motor, rails, etc. + 1200 of labour for all of that)! fixed for 550 at a local auto glass store but had to wait a couple of days.
my front windshield had a chip.....cost 1100 to fix
The Ontario government needs to get off their asses and actually do something to fix the Ontario laws.
Justice system is a federal level play
@abc-lp6nb And you are very right. Good thing too. It'll be on the exam.

I used to hear that Canada was safe & everyone was friendly. Gone are those days.

The good old days.
Yes, and then Torontonians voted in Liberals. Now reaping the benefits.
@@mhow7024 conservatives will be in next! Then the criminals will stop!
The real question is who are these people? Back when I was a kid I can't think of hearing about a car being stolen once
How many ppl do you know who have had their car stolen now?
These are mainly theives paid by mobs and gangs to sell the cars offshore. It all get shipped to montreal because montreal "frenchies" refuse to do anything about it at the port despite knowing the problems and containers that likely have stolen vehicles.
People coming on visitor visa
Because back then cars weren't high tech with key fobs.
When were you a kid? Cars used to be easier to steal
What the heck is going on in Canada, why is everything falling apart?
Immigration and a horrible justice system that favours certain ethnicities.

@@doubletimefun did anyone say drama teacher?!

@@neonnoir9692 and Justin Trudeau and his woke agendas
DON'T FORGET TO PUT YOUR KEY FOB BY THE DOOR
Why?
@@walterwhite1 it's actually the other way around. Thieves will amplify the signal of your fob to turn the car on from a distance. This guy is trolling.
You mean put your key fob inside a metal box or at least inside a solid wood drawer.
Cops will be telling us to leave the keys in our cars soon.
@walterwhite1 it's a jab at the toronto police. A few weeks ago, the police told people at a press conference to leave their car keys by the door so theives can just steal the car more easily. It made international news and everyone laughed at us for it.
Canadians will pay for a failing judicial system by raised premiums
Lefties voted for this. They are generally in liberal and NDP ridings. Luckily, they are the major targets instead of right wing voters who tend to live in more rural areas. Insurance rates will go up for these urban areas and so they should.
Parking in the garage can help.
yeah but leave your keys near the door...as police advice you because these guys are coming in win guns and don't care where your car is
Yeah and leave your keys inside a tinfoil cover so that radio signals can't reach them. Because that's how the majority of cars get stolen now.
They can follow you at mall or at work
That's what happened! Though. Lol
Why is nothing being done at the port where these cars are being shipped out??
I'm sure there's a reason nothing being done there...
Investigate PORT OFFICIALS ON WHY STEAL CARS SNEAK OUT FROM CANADA TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.
These criminals will not encourage to steal car if they don’t have buyers, connection to port officials & big time syndicate.
And accoplices working in service Canada to change registration papers, ownership and the vin number.
a manual transmission will deter thieves
My uncle Subaru was manual and it still got stolen
Not anymore, everyone in Africa knows how to drive a manual.

move then
1. Keep car in let lit area.
2. Have a camera targetted towards the front of the car.
3. Make sure car battery is disconnected.
4. Put a clamp boot on one of the car tires.
5. Have a car theft GPS installed on the through a vendor.
6. Make sure car keys are store in a locked Faraday compartment.

Here is a crazy idea, what about checking each container coming in to the port of Montreal since everyone one know that's the core issue of this problem....
I really think port of Montreal benefits from all this
yeah its amazing that the port of montreal is the ONLY point of transport these cars all get smuggled through - everyone knows this - and yet nothing is being done. this isn't only organized crime, its police and government corruption.
8 years of Trudeau
My old country had a problem with carnapping and so I was happy to move to Canada. But now it is much worse than my old country. I can't believe it. Canada is supposed to be safer and crimes solved and prevented. These past few years stealing cars has gotten worse, much much worse than I could have imagined. I was just talking to a young car salesman this afternoon. 2 of his friends got their cars stolen from them at gunpoint at 2 busy malls in Scarborough!
Get a stolen vehicle recovered and when you go to pick it up at the storage yard you find all kinds of damage. Cops can have it delivered to that storage yard and get a kick back from the storage fees. The vehicle gets damaged there and of course the yard will send you to a good buddy in the repair industry and then they don’t only get storage fees they get a kickback on the repairs. This can lead you to believe you have corrupt tow truck drivers, corrupt cops, corrupt storage yards and corrupt body shops.
The number one failure is in the government, specifically the justice system. Manufacturers also deserve blame as well.
Bring back the bait car program
no point.judges will just let them go.
very strange the same thing is happening in most western counties......
INSTEAD of the garages as storage units use them for yr car.
If they can break into you car they can break into you garage
Why dont they show some of the thieves
I'm glad I don't drive a luxury or high demand model. I live in the GTA, Peel Region, the hardest hit area in the country for vehicle thefts. My car is 10 years old and I park in a locked garage. Nobody is really taking responsibility to stop it. It's crazy that one port in Montreal is where most of these stolen cars are being shipped out but everyone's hands are tied to inspect containers. Meanwhile my premiums go up each year while I'm driving less after having taken early retirement.
We need to follow in the footsteps of Iran, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Blame the manufacturer, this could be an easy fix on their side. They will not do it as these thefts will help them sell more vehicles.
I have my 14 years old Kia, that still works great, and nobody will steal it .
I came to this country when i was 8, its been home for 36 years, and doesnt feel like home anymore.😢
This country is getting worse day by day.
what happened to my Canada, it is not safe anymore.... Sad
Liberal minded policies. Soft on crime (compassionate policing), mass immigration, slack judicial system, high tech cars being easily hacked.
Trudeau happened to Canada. Although, realistically speaking, it's the bleeding heart socialists who elected him that are the real problem.
@@thanos834trudea brough in so many immigrants a lot of them are criminals that have come on study permits
the statement made from TPS last week sums up everything
I've never had my vehicle stolen.... But since young I've always had nightmares about it
Toronto police have a fantastic idea 😂
we need tougher laws like wtf is goin on pirate paradise
Not a single word about the government
How can they not catch a stolen vehicle being extorted out of the country? Do they not check the export paperwork? Do they not check what’s inside the container? I’m inclined to think that insiders at the port are part of these gangs. In depth investigations are necessary to break this network.
Thanks for informing me of this opportunity
You can have the best tracker they make for your vehicle and the police here will not go and get your vehicle for you even when you are close by one out of 500 get their vehicle back from the port when they know it is there from the vehicle tracking systems, there’s not enough manpower in the ports to search the containers the police sayI know from experience
It is the usual suspects and that's not old stock Canadians stealing these cars.
Please do tell us.. speak with your chest ;)
@@luna-rt4vx but you already know.
4:55 there you go; best anti-theft measure: manual/standard transmission!
My dealership told me to put my keys into a metal can when I get home - I don't know how effective that is but I keep a decorative metal bowl as my key safe.
Our once-safe neighbuorhood is facing a concerning trend of car thefts. It's disheartening to see our neighbuors fall victim to this crime repeatedly.

Stay informed, stay vigilant, and let's work towards a safer community for all. #CommunitySafety #StopCarTheftsInCanada #FTrudeau
Seems like all the cars robbed in Ontario and Quebec are going to the port of Montreal. How hard is it to increase security measures and validate every vehicle that is leaving the port on those giant ships? In any case, the thieves (when caught, which is rare) seem to get out within 2 years. In Japan, car thefts get you 10 years... Insurance companies don't help either, they just sit by and laugh as they raise your rates for your car getting stolen 🙆🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️. Seems the best solution is to only buy older, low quality cars that the thieves wouldn't be interested in.
My insurance went up $700 because i drive a f150 and its the top stolen list. Totally clean record. But they have no theft prevention policy! Or give me any discount for having anti theft installed. Bunch of BS!
What province tho? Some have/are switching some regulations that increase your premiums. $700 doesn't make sense unless this is the cause. (Most recent being Alberta)
@@WeatherManToBe Im in London Onatrio. With Allstate.
You can lower your premium by telling your insurer to remove the Comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage is for things like theft so if you don't care if the car gets stolen then you don't need the coverage. 😃👍
Good luck!
I traded in my 2015 F150 for a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave and my insurance tried to double my rate (from $111/month to $211/month) because it's high on the theft list. I laughed at them and said try again. They said if I put an immobilizer in it and let them also track my driving through an app I'd save 10%. I just laughed again and told them if that's the best they could offer a customer of at least 20 years I'll be shopping around. Well I found insurance in one call for $7 a month more than my F150 so now they've lost my truck, my wife's car, a motorcycle, a house and an ATV. I am now saving $2500 a year between everything and now I'd like to thank the dude in the India call center for not giving a dam and sending me on my way.
I can't understand how they are getting away at the ports? Why not tighten the security there? Definitely insider job...
Absolutely appalling to know how many people getting their vehicles stolen. There is no mention of the Flipper Zero, however.
Be smart and do what so many others have done....leave Canada.
Most people in big cities just come to Canada and took years to settle
I guess no one told them they supposed to leave the keys by the front door some cookies and milk will also be appreciated!
Container scanner exist.. The truck simply drive thru the scanner and since we're looking for vehicles it should be quick.. Container with veh in are stopped for paperwork. Why don't the port buy 2 ?
Canada needs a second amendment and a castle doctrine.
They can easily stop it but don't
How is there no mention of PIN code technology like IGLA or Autowatch Ghost in this report? There are good options readily available on the market for consumers that virtually eliminate relay attacks and CAN bus injections and it’s irresponsible to not mention them. Shoddy reporting.
Recently traded in a high theft rate Jeep SRT got fed up of living on high alert and looking over my shoulder. Especially while working odd schedules. I am very happy i got rid of it and no longer have this constant fear. Manufactures who produce easy to steal vehicles should be penalized. Consumers should simply stop buying. They have no incentive to increase security, once stolen they simply get to sell another unit.
Lol these guys can't come up with a solution like really look how many of those detached houses have garages. What the hell do you think they are for..... Maybe if you'd actually use it and park your car in the garage, it's less likely to get stolen.... Take it in. I've just blown your minds 🤯
If I was an insurance company I'd give people a discount for them parking their cars in the garage. But if it was found out that your car got stolen because it wasn't in the garage then that's on them
The saddest thing about this is that people here on chat have provided effective solutions to the problem, but unfortunately falls on deaf government and law enforcement ears.
6:20 barn door was left open
The insurance companies have already come up with a solution…gps trackers. They can be bought on Amazon for under $50 and requires a cell phone plan for well under $100 a year. With a tracker, police can find the car literally within a hour or two of it being reported stolen, possibly with the thief still driving it. It blows my mind why the police isn’t recommending this to car owners. Police can also encourage cell service providers to bring down the cost of the cell plan by offering it as an add-on to the customers’ existing plan. Please CBC, do the public a favour and talk to the police.
it depends on the type of trackers and thieves can throw it away very easily.
@@kareshi2k Only if they can find it. After all the tax money we paid, the least the government can do is a bit of research and recommend one that is hard to find to the citizens.
What's stopping the federal and provincial govts on taking action on the Port of Montreal when everyone knows that's where the cars are taken to?
What I find unbelievable is how cars enter the port easily, someone inside has to be getting paid!
It’s absolutely an inside job. Corruption in the government is crazy. They’re legal RICO’s
If I had a vehicle in a [sh]city, I'd install a remotely located battery master switch that only I know where it is. It's a lot tougher to steal a vehicle with 0 volts.
With many cars if you have the battery disconnected for a certain amount of time the ECU and all your electronics will reset.
It’s not really a solution unless you’re driving something from the 80s or older.
@@tylerk3616 it's pretty much instantaneous. The time it would take to hook it back up is virtually enough to drain the ECU capacitors. I'd still rather deal with that than my vehicle getting taken and having to pay all the related costs of replacement, not to mention insurance going up.
Did you not even watch the video? This isn't cities. This is all bedroom towns outside of the city..... Cities are safer 😂😂😂😂
@@WeatherManToBeIndeed I did. Barrhaven, where they start the report, is a suburb within the shity of Ottawa. Check a map 😂
@@thebrassbandit reread what you just typed until it makes sense.
They couldn't drive standard transmission 😂😂 . A minimum of 10 years behind bars will deter them
The problem with these modern subdivisions is not only is everyone on top of each other, the driveways are short and only in front of the homes. There are no long driveways that go to the back of your home, where your vehicles are bit safer, out of view and maybe even behind a gate. Give me an old house with a long driveway over this anytime.
Easy solution.. pull the crucial ignition fuses from your vehicle. Threw them in my checked baggage on my last trip out of the country. Good luck hotwiring my car without them
Jail and deportation!
You will be deported first
The funniest thing she said that whole segment was “police are doing all they can” by telling you to leave your keys out for the criminals 😂
Do immobilizers help?
I was thinking of installing one of these for ~$1,000. Would need a physical key, not made by the manufacturer, to start the car.
The thieves are also young offenders. They need to be trialed as adults if caught
Yeah, gangs use teens to do the job for them.
Install a security system (Compustar has parts to prevent relay attacks). And install GPS trackers.
Off topic this cameraman must be wanting to be a movie director, he even got cutaway shots of their feet walking
I know people that steal cars and the number 1 one way to steal brand new luxury cars is to just try the door handle. if it opens then the fob is in the car. you'd be suprised how many rich people leave their fobs in the car.
It’s government backed extortion. Cant they setup checkpoints at montreal port to check all the vehicles taken through that? Cars don’t teleport to other countries.
If only there was a way to only unlock your car with a mechanical instead of software mechanism
i have been putting my fob in the foyer as directed by the esteemed police. didn't that help reduce this crime? sorry, my bad! what else i should do to help the hardworking criminals? please advise, oh our great police.
The penelity for car thieft is too leanant what the laws have to do when caught chop off one hand put in jail for 20 years
They know where they take the vehicles and they know where they’re going. Problem is is the port authority seems to not want to cooperate with police. Just do a UA-cam search fifth estate
I got a 07 civic no body if never hade that problem and no financing. People paying car notes is insane how people sign on thing they cant afford
I love how cbc turns the comments off 90% of their videos now...
No Tesla or Mercedes make it into the list? 😂
Get rid of keyless entry and push to start functioning, bring back old school keys and ignition
Doesn’t make a difference, car jackers know how to start an ignition system as well… probably easier since it’s break window, meld wires, and you’re off
But still it’ll deter some dumb teens , they will always try to go for easy ones
Where's the Police?
3:41 garaaage
Vehicle manufacturers have patents to require us to enter a pin code like a cell phone. The manufacturers dont want the theft problem solved. Cameras aren't a deterrent, they are an investigative tool only. Save your $
The Harbor have worker or police is pay to keep mouth shut. Check on those who are is working on that shift.
100%, 5 year minimum sentence, no early release,nothing. You do the 5 years then get out. Do it again, doubles to 10 years, just keeps going up. If your the passenger, you do the 5 years aswell.

Buy a key fob that blocks the signal + get a OBD2 locking device so they cannot programme a new key...
Are you sure this is in Canada? Doesn’t seem like it. Only middle eastern.
The bail bonds companies owner, politicians, angle monitors contractors, greedy property owners, and prison contractors all live in the suburbs.
steering wheel lock is useless, it takes less than 5 second to cut the steering wheel
Maybe these people should direct their anger at the government!
Most cars are shipped through a few ports. Add more inspections at ports and put criminals in jail.
car theft cartel.. ran by the government 😂😂
Not sometimes. It's in vast majority of times they are using keyfob relay method to steal the car. Buy a Faraday cage pouch for the keyfob.
