EVENKEEL Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Canada's solution to stop home invasions is to tell residents to leave car keys at the front door. Good job Canada, what a bunch a pussies. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13203185/Toronto-police-outrage-thievesJustin-Trudeaus-woke-bail.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 As bad as the optics are, isn't this like telling purse snatch victims to let go of your purse to reduce your chance of being killed? Seems like reasonable advice if you value your life more than your car. At least in the immediate term, until they can clear the thieves off the street. Which requires a lot more than good policing. It requires political will to lock up bad guys, if only to keep them away from polite society. So I don't blame the cops. I blame the lefty politicians.

ezzra Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 By the same rational why don't they tell the people to also leave their valuables and wallets at the doorstep in order to reduce break-in, right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Or they could tell shops to let thieves just help themselves. Oh they already do that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just leave windows down with keys in car? What's next, the thieves will require a home cooked meal or they kill you? It's insanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone breaks into your house looking for car keys, you'd prefer they come into your bedroom to beat the crap out of you to find the keys? Personally, I'd rather put the keys on a hook just inside the door so they leave me and my loved ones alone. That's very different from leaving them in the car or leaving the windows open, which invites theft. Their advice doesn't invite theft. Just mitigates the risk to life when someone does break in. It's the same as telling purse snatch victims to let go of the purse. Is what's in that purse worth risking your life over? Is your car worth risking your life over? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bow down to the criminals and you have mayhem. It would be cheaper to let them take the car. Several hundred thousand dollars cheaper, according to Massad Ayoob, who is an expert witness at many self defense trials. And has a great YouTube channel for gun aficionados. He states that a self defense by firearm defense case starts at $100K and goes up from there. Even if the cops don't charge the shooter, the burglar's family will likely sue. I have quite a few self defense guns, and I hope I never have to use one in anger. I certainly won't in defense of property. Just in defense of life. My car's insured. Conceptually, I agree with you. But from a pragmatic standpoint, I'd leave my keys exactly where a burglar would be likely to find them. For most families, that's on a hook or a table in the foyer by the front door.

I was joking about canadians. Lighten up. IQ is a scam anyway. it cannot be measured so easily. and it's over-rated. animals are smarter than us in many ways. cats and dogs can predict earthquakes. what we need more of is EQ - Emotional Intelligence ie HEART. If you don't like Rush, then I can't help you. and the men who hold high places must be the ones who start to mold a new reality closer to the heart Edited March 16 by save the frogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Good idea leave the keys near the door, but disconnect the battery/ ignition system and switch off the electric fuel pump with hidden switches. Watch the fools on your CCTV as they run around scratching their heads. Connect the brake light switch to the horn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd let them drive a block or 2 before disabling the car remotely. They'd be less likely to walk that far for retribution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working in OZ one time as the 'Mechanic' on a 'station' one guy left his Ute for a service and thought he'd scare me by leaving a snake skin outside. Next mourning as was the norm all station staff gathered and he came to collect his UTE, I had told the other guys, all in anticipation of the brake lights coming on, off he went stopped at the gate, horn sounded he got out lifted the bonnet scratched his head, turned round, using his brakes a lot, and came back. 10 staff all pissing themselves laughing. true story.

Whilst there is guns in my house they would be useless during a home invasion.... well unless of course the perp complies when I ask him to wait whilst I grab the ammo from the safe !!
