had their vehicles stolen at gunpoint in the span of only two hours.
“It's easier than being out in the middle of the night with a computer playing around in somebody's driveway. This is a much simpler way, albeit the car accidents that are showing up are pretty elaborate,” he told CP24 Friday morning. “If you see somebody coming towards your vehicle and you have a concern about it, whether it's two or three people, you'll lock the doors and you can set the alarm with your key fob. Make some noise, that's not what they want, they don't want to attract attention,” he said.
Mendelson adds that if you feel like you’re being followed, drive to a police or fire station and call the authorities.
Give it up is not an expert opinion...
So,stop keep valuable,papers and prize possession in ur vehicle, so if someone wants ur car 🚗🚨 let it go, I think it will be better for you!!
I was not impressed with his reference to Lagos, Nigeria as a possible destination for these hijacked cars. It was an irresponsible speculation. Please stop perpetuating unhealthy stereotypes!dismantalinganti-Black-racism
Encouraging more thieves to go and steal people’s property , everything is going wrong in this country
Just stop exporting used car . Period . this will stop all these issue .
It's very important to know your enemy. A property criminal doesn't want the extra scrutiny he'd get from having killed a property crime victim. If you don't physically oppose a property criminal, he usually won't bother physically hurting you.
Why has carjackings come to the front of the political conscience only after a celebrity was carjacked.
Expert? He looks like he abuses the handicap parking
the fact that this is a story is a hint at how we are losing Toronto to thugs
Why can't cops take strict actions, so that these car jackers or car theifs are afraid of before even attemting to do such things.
‘Give it up and let them have the car,’ unless you can really fight back.... onpoli TOpoli
That will only create more incentive and no deterrence. Just like with the stores where they have been told to not react. Now they rob blatantly out in the open. How about making it difficult for them? Honk, make noise, put on the gas…
What do we do if we have kids in the car? Give them up?
I’m not giving up my car. I worked damn hard for it. I will defend myself. These thieves needs tougher penalties
My possession is worth more than your life
Let’s see we hand over our car and help the underground market and our insurance rate goes up that’s the Canadian way, time to open up the gun market to protect your home and car maybe they will think twice before robbing you.
This will encourage more thievery because easy passive targets
Speaking with my experience, the violence in the city, there will start to kidnap with the owner and drive them to a bank machine, and later leave him there? Today I went to Dundas square to the Tim, I saw a drug interchange and today I went to fix the bike and the same story
Mandate the carjackers to get vaccinated, wear a mask and stay 6ft apart because I need to feel safe when I’m being robbed. CovidIsNotOver monkeypox 🇺🇦
Never😡 cut their eyes out I will🤨
Drive an old unattractive car. Problem solved 😂
Disgusting, disturbing and reprehensible. These are the kinds of deeds that should be deemed inexcusable. Lack of the HARSHEST consequences will only further embolden even WORSE perpetrators. Individuals like this should not have the privilege of existing in a civilized society.
How many times do you have to be carjacked to be an expert?
At least insurance might pay out the depreciated resale value of the vehicle relative to the yearbof manufacture. You'll be a bit in the hole in car payments etc but you'll be alive to pay
Yeah, teach people to be sitting ducks. Maybe, if more drivers pulled out a 12 gauge shotgun (you do have the right to defend life in Canada) when attacked at gunpoint, it would be a deterrent to these thieves.
I know we should give up the car/purse/phone. But isn’t pronouncing it repeatedly just encouraging them?
Or buy a weapon and shoot the motherfuckers!
We dont need guns, just call the police...
Toronto police can’t stop it…. Best to defend yourselves accordingly.
Ohhh! Let them have it,um ya OK ,I'm sure my friend will come in handy at that time
I was not raised to be a pussy. Try taking my car and you will find two sorry MF !!!! Fact Criminal’s need to be schooled in the art of ass kicking !!!!
Or get your guns out.
Place an Apple AirTag in your car so it can be tracked if it ever gets stolen. Thieves will get huge surprise when Cops show up.
Canada loves to protect the criminals but should you fight back...oof...have fun defending yourself in court. How DARE you fight back? You roll over and call the police like a good little Canadian. You submit to the people with a gun, it's the Canadian way. Now go vote liberal
I feel sorry for any homosapien that even attempts to pull this on me my friends or family. Very very sorry. That's all.
Bring back carding, reintroduce mandatory sentencing for gun crimes and arrest more blaks. Problem solved.
Experts telling us to back down? This is why things keep happening. Start fighting back and things will change
Toronto is turning into a lawless city
Why don't we talk about the lack of self defense laws in Canada?
Expert tips It’s common sense
If you're in your car, run them the fuck over.
NadialloydTO how about locking your doors 😂
There are hardly ever any carjackings in Texas. That's because Texas is a conceal and carry state and has stand your ground laws.
Do what South Afrikaans do…someone unwanted come near your car, you literally incinerate them. Problem solved save for the ashy mess.
Oh yeah, he looks like an expert on car jacking LOL
Time to arm yourself. The government won’t serve you justice so it’s time to take matters into your own hands.
Only bad guys carry guns in Toronto. Everyone is an easy target. Don’t worry police will be there in an hour or so to write a report for you.
Crush there head in the car door as there getting in
Feds enact an emerg act for truckers acting like aholes but nobody will step up to say this is worse yet we won’t create an example of a couple to deter the rest. Instead I hear more social programs more basketball courts? What? How about more parents being accountable?
Safety tip 1 don’t go to the city
Are y’all driving around with your loved ones’ ashes or something? Just give them the car and call the police. You pay all that money into insurance, might as well get something out of it.
We have to get used to how we have to live with this virus.That is our new normal .
as long as they take my golf clubs out, take the car
Yea I'm glad we have gun control, but you know those jackers would think twice if there was a pistol in the glove compartment.
And with any luck they get caught and you get a name and address so you can stop by and make sure they are ok 🔨 🔨
If you drive one of these cars get ready for a spike in your insurance rates.
If you need an expert to tell you to give up the car then you're already in trouble. 😂
Such a Toronto answer…if there is a crime simply let it happen!
Classic Canada, the good guys are the bad guys and the bad guys are just doing it because “society” has done them wrong.
Another pacifist opinion by an ex cop. Unfortunately there's no mention of proper situational awareness, some smarts about roaming about all hours, maybe hiring some personal protection if you're even a minor celebrity. The answers here about guns in glove boxes, also horrible
Good thing for experts! Without this I might have been tempted to fight off a gun wielding criminal over an insured car! Phewww 🤦♂️ close call.
I'm not anyone's victim. They can kill me trying to take something from me. What a pussy ass opinion. Must be nice having all the money in the world to just get another car.
People have belongings in their cars. Paperwork, electronics, tools, clothes, etc. Some not easy to replace. Time to look for a taser on the black market.
This dudes *****. Stay strapped and blast back at these fools. Aint no1 wanna see their insurance go up over this shit. Pow pow
Insurance. 👍🏽
Tazers! Does Amazon sell them?
Gun in my face...let them have car...got it...thanks expert
Just hit them with your car
So this guy’s an expert on being carjacked?
Nah, these losers can’t drive manual so have fun 🤡
Amazed that we are even having to have this type of discussion in Canada….maybe the government needs to wake up and look at the Young Offenders Act.
Good advice, that or don’t have a car in the first place
