...or at least for Toronto.
Now this headline is a little misleading.
What the police actually recommended was leaving your car keys by the door, not outside. So when thieves break in they don't ransack the whole house - or your family - looking for the car keys.
I would also suggest putting your cash and jewelry there as well. Why take a chance.
But that is a pretty pathetic solution to an epidemic of armed home invasions. Because these 15 & 16 year old kids are all carrying guns (how can that be? Toronto is a gun free zone. Don't those boys know that?)
Maybe not. But this is what they do know;
1) Toronto police are not doing much to catch them,
2) if they do get caught, our justice system - because they are juveniles (and gang leaders know this too) - they will get a slap on the wrist.
3) they will make a lot of money.
Maybe people should recommend that the police do their job and catch these guys and lock up!
In fairness, they don't get much support from the Toronto's progressive city council. Where a lot of the councilors still want to defund the police budget even more.
We need to get back to the tough love justice system!
P.S. Okay....they corrected their mistake.
But this sounds even worse. Pretty pathetic......

That's interesting re using juveniles...
Around here, they move in groups of 2-3 guys mainly to steal catalytic converters. They slide underneath a car with a battery-powered reciprocating saw and cut it right out of the exhaust line. It takes about three minutes or less and makes as much noise as any other power tool.
They're also ransacking cars when folks leave 'em unlocked, and/or stealing the car. You can't even leave your car unlocked bringing in groceries. It's nutz!
Leaving your fob by the front door allows a thief to walk up to the victim’s home with a piece of equipment that captures the signal from the key fob and then transmits the signal from a car key fob. And away they go. I saw a recommendation to throw your key fob in a metal coffee can.
To the article's point, one of my neighgors were broken into, robbed, and two cars stolen while THEY WERE SLEEPING... jeesh.
Yes, I heard that about them accessing the FOB through the door if you leave them close. Glad we're not the only ones with this problem.
