According to a survey unveiled by CAA-Quebec, vehicle thefts are on the rise, but many owners seem to neglect the situation and security of their cars.
An offence captured by surveillance cameras this week shows young teenagers stealing a vehicle in less than 10 minutes. The police are intensifying their operations to fight this growing problem.

For just a few dollars, you can invest in the security of your vehicle with an RFID-blocking box.
It's not complicated, it blocks all waves, so the key signal stays where it should be: far from thieves. Simply drop off your keys inside when you arrive home.
