The Toronto Police are now advising residents to make it easier for criminals to steal their car.
At least, that’s the popular interpretation of a Toronto Police officer
telling a town hall that homeowners should keep the keys to their car near the front door so that they “don’t get attacked.”
“They’re breaking into your home to steal your car. They don’t want anything else,” he said.
Fortunately, this doesn’t appear to be representative of departmental policy. Within hours of the statement, Toronto Police
published a guide saying that while the key idea was “well meaning,” there are “also other ways to prevent auto theft motivated home invasions.”
In addition to immediately surrendering their automobile to home invaders, Torontonians were informed they could also “install a home security system” or “keep backyard gates locked.”
No, this is not from the Beaverton. That is all.

The
Law & Order order spinoff series set in Toronto is being described highly unrealistic, as it depicts the Toronto Police repeatedly attempting to actually solve crimes and do police work.
John Brimshaw, a
television critic for The Toronto Star, cited a baffling early episode where citizens come forward with reports of multiple missing persons in a specific neighborhood. The Toronto police take the reports seriously and end up uncovering a serial killer, instead of just ignoring the reports and then accidentally catching the serial killer a year and half later.
Globe and Mail arts columnist Kathleen Karter was equally critical in her review, finding one episode about an auto-theft ring particularly far-fetched. In it, the Toronto Police track the ring to a railyard and recover hundreds of vehicles instead of just telling victims to call their insurance companies, and, when given the exact location of the stolen vehicles by citizens with AirTags hidden in their
cars, claim they don’t have jurisdiction over trains. This is actually from the Beaverton, but it’s hard to tell which of the above is satire.
TORONTO - The Law & Order order spinoff series set in Toronto is being panned by critics, who say the show's depiction of the Toronto Police is highly unrealistic as it shows the police repeatedly attempting to actually solve crimes and do police work.
