In Canada late model car theft is a huge issue, especially in the Greater Toronto Area.

Thieves will usually use a signal extender or something to take advantage of the keyless go and drive away, usually driven to a port in Quebec IIRC where they are then shipped to Africa or the Middle East where they’re resold.

Just two weeks ago $60 million in stolen cars were recovered (article)), I hear about people’s cars being stolen from work parking lots, know of people on my street who have had attempts to steal their cars.

Most commonly stolen cars are probably Toyota/Honda SUVs and pickups.
