    Stealing cars? They only unlocked the car. I assumed it's now mostly B&E with the widespread use of immobilisers. They're basically after small items that can sell like MP3 players, loose change or even your phone.

    They intimated on CBC radio this am that some cars could be driven off too. Could be hyperbole. I'll be aiming the Grey-Hoverman antenna at Grouse tonight, lol.
