Auto Theft in Toronto: Prevention Methods

Amidst a nationwide surge in car thefts, with a 24 percent increase noted in 2022, the Toronto area bears a particularly heavy burden, evoking a blend of paranoia, vigilance, and resentment among residents.

Car thefts have become alarmingly common in Canada’s largest city, skyrocketing by 150 percent over the past six years. This issue has forged a shared experience among vehicle owners, with many either falling victim themselves or knowing someone who has. The headlines of numerous news outlets continuously highlight these thefts.

In response, social media groups have emerged to aid in locating stolen vehicles. However, the prevalent sentiment in the comments suggests resignation to the likelihood that the stolen cars are already en route to overseas destinations in shipping containers.

Homeowners are increasingly seeking solutions to safeguard their driveways, with some earning commendation from the police for installing bollards.

One of our clients, Mr. Lucas, decided to install three bollards in his driveway to protect his Ferrari.
