Meanwhile, police and the Insurance Bureau of Canada are sharing tips on how to prevent yourself from becoming a victim.
They say you should not leave keyless entry fobs in vehicles or unprotected at the front entrance of your home. And they recommend installing an immobilizing device to prevent thieves from bypassing the ignition and hot-wiring the vehicle.
They also recommend not leaving a vehicle running when unattended, locking the doors and closing all windows when parked, and parking in well-lit areas or in the garage.
