Local Auto Thefts

DownUnder said:
I feel, if the crime is violent or organized, it should be automatic adult charges, being dumb and stealing a car from a driveway to joyride is one thing, dragging someone out of their car at knifepoint or breaking into a house with a gun shows a trait that doesn't belong in a civilized society.

Shop lifting where a punk sneaks something under their shirt and sneaks out is one thing.

When they load a shopping cart with high end merchandise and walk past the checkouts with impunity, knowing nothing will come of it is something else. Who do they think they are? Liberal MPs?

As a start, if you manage to do something dumb enough to get arrested while on bail, it should be reverse onus for bail. Prove to the courts why you aren't a risk. That's a big hill to climb

If we don't have enough space in jail, ankle bracelets for all. Don't even make it optional. If you are on bail, you get one. Take it off or commit a crime and you go to jail. No warnings.

That's how it is now... or is supposed to be.
reverse onus used to mean something.. It seems like it doesn't anymore. If I remember correctly.. there was a SCC ruling about 10 years ago that had an effect on it all.
 
What the actual hell?



(sorry, but I don't know how to insert the videos)

Maybe this is an isolated case, maybe it has been for a while. I'm not sure as I don't read news that often.

However, one of the reasons I decided to leave Mexico it was because not being/feeling safe. If violence is rampant here, then I might just go back. One less immigrant to worry about/contribute to the housing crisis.

I wonder when we'll see owners hitting their own bollards because they forget about them in the mornings in a rush.

I suspect that happens 1000 times more often than a prevented theft. I am surprised that the vehicles in the video were backed in. Ime, 90% drive in which makes the bollard even harder to spot (unless it aligns with camera).

Not sure about others...but I always back in to my spots / driveway. I prefer to see what's ahead of me. I'm not as diligent as I should be about walking around the car before leaving, as I may have driven over 1 or 2 shovels or kids' toys.

I do too. My wife rarely backs in (grrr). Most people almost always back in or almost always drive in. Eyeball average says the back-in group is maybe 10% of the population. In my block I may be the only person that backs into the garage. Fun car guy used to back in but recently he has been driving in (maybe he tore off an expensive mirror?).

Always back in.

No need to stay up until 3 or 4am to steal a car anymore. Can just do it during the daytime and still get a good nights sleep.

Crazy that it's broad daylight.

On a side note, who the hell convinced women the botox Donald duck lip look was what men like?

Bollard doing it's thing...

I don't think there was ever a question if a bollard would work... it's a big dumb post.
For ME the question is: why can't they make a $100,000 truck that isn't EASY to steal?
An "inconvenient" deadman switch is a LOT more convenient than digging up my driveway to install a bollard... that ONLY protects my truck in my driveway. If i want to steal your truck, why not wait for you to go to the store? (which is probably a better place to steal your truck anyway).
The cynic in me says the companies involved (auto manufacturers, insurance co's, bollard salesmen) are all making bank off the rise in auto theft... why would they want to change anything.
... and we the consumer pays.... It's always US that PAY.
