    Looking at the numbers in Canada, the Conservative party would make us believe that car theft is at a level never seen before but the truth is there were proportionally more cars stolen back in the 70s, 80, 90s and sometimes even more cars stolen than now in actual numbers with less cars on the road.

    I know it’s gonna sound completely crazy but… Maybe it’s going up because the economic conditions at the moment make some people desperate and no matter if cars were keyless or not, the same thing would have happened? 🤔

      Probably a mix of things. People are more desperate and cars have been artificially inflated in value. A fucking new kia is 40+k today
