Oh Toronto, my Toronto. Why is it every time you’re in international news it’s always something so pathetic? Wasn’t our crack-smoking mayor Rob Ford shameful enough? Do we always need to give the Americans more to laugh at us about?
This time, it seems like police are suggesting God-fearing Canadian just give up their cars to thieves.
As car thieves continue to use sophisticated methods to steal ‘keyless’ cars right out of people’s driveways, a Police officer made a stunning suggestion.
Constable Marco Ricciardi advised people to leave their car keys near the front door of their houses, This way, if a car thief can’t hack into your car, at least he won’t have to look very hard for your keys if he kicks in your front door.
Of course, the comments have been taken out of context. The police officer was speaking at a meeting with local residents concerned about home invasion robberies. The car key suggestion was simply a way to avoid the possibility of being attacked during a robbery. If all the thief wants in your car, let him take it.
Just have to wonder what a Texan would think about this? Not a card-carrying member of the NRA with the 2nd Amendment tattooed across his chest. Just a regular old American being told to just let the bad guys take your car?

oh my brother in baby jesus what is this world coming to? i don’t know that id look to texas for anything though. and i don’t think too many americans are laughing at canada because we are too busy crying about our own pathetic situation. at least we can blog.
I’m not sure what the laws are in Texas, but from Toronto, my view has always been that you’re allowed to carry guns on your belt. Like a cowboy.
.
None of that concealed carry BS. If you’re walking around with six-shooters on your hip, I bet people don’t mess with you.
.
So I wonder what such a person would think of nice Canadian police suggesting that we leave our keys near the front door so we don’t confront ‘bad hombres’ as your 45th used to call them.
oh well yeah plenty of americans would pooh-pooh such a suggestion, especially a gun-totin texan
Yup… instead of putting my keys by the front door, I’m putting an NRA member with an ‘Insured by Smith & Wesson’ T-shirt and a coeboy hat.
.
He’ll be like my lawn jockey or cigar store Indian.
i think you have come up with a great fundraiser for the NRA. lifesize yard statue to deter crims.
Following the police logic, we could go the extra mile, leaving the FOB on the dashboard. This would save you the trouble of replacing a broken front door. Don’t forget to leave the car with a full tank of gas and some snacks inside too.
