From cars, bikes to strollers, plants, and even a pair of shoes!

In Canada, a car is stolen every six minutes!
The New York Times published an article saying that "Toronto is a 'candy store' for car thieves and drivers are fed up".
The other day, Vashtie Doorga, a mother in Brampton, Greater Toronto, said she was seriously injured when she was helping her 12-year-old son sell a pair of Air Jordans sneakers to a buyer on Facebook Marketplace.
A few days ago, a Chinese person withdrew money at a Markham ATM, and was pointed at gunpoint by Brother Xiao Hei and withdrew 3,000 cash from the card.
Some netizens said: "This country has become a third world country. ”
Today, another Chinese netizen broke the news on social media that his home was burglarized and turned upside down, and 20,000 Canadian dollars in cash and earrings and jewelry were all taken away.

My teammates and I went out at about 11 o'clock in the morning, it rained heavily outside today, I don't know if I was being targeted, I arrived home at more than 6 o'clock in the evening, found that the door was open, the lights were on, and I took a look at it, and the downstairs basement of the house was all turned upside down, and about 20,000 Canadian dollars in cash were stolen, and the earrings and the like were all taken away, and my legs were so scared that my legs were weak, and I called 911, and I couldn't get through, and after connecting it, the police came to make a record after an hour, and then took a photo and left.
I haven't calmed down until now, I'm worried about the slightest wind and grass, the thief is a gang, and I took everything I could! I just want to know if I'm still safe now?
Judging from the pictures posted by this netizen, almost all the homes have been turned over, and all kinds of sundries have been piled up on the ground.
I was so mad that I even turned over my mattress.
Netizens said that this group of people was very arrogant, and a large group of people came in from the kitchen in the backyard with smashed windows, and they stayed at home for four hours, and they were not afraid at all!
Surveillance shows that it is there from 11:40 to 3:40 p.m
Netizens said that the 20,000 yuan in cash at home had just been withdrawn from the bank and planned to be used.
Someone immediately replied: It may be that he was targeted when he withdrew money from the bank.
The current security in Toronto is really chaotic!
Hanya Kizemchuk, a woman in Toronto, said that violent crime is frequent in downtown Toronto, and she is panicking when she goes out.
Since she is a model, she often needs to wear a famous brand to shoot for work, but she feels like a lamb to the slaughter when she walks down the street with a famous brand.
She posted a video on social media about walking two blocks to get back to her car after a modeling shoot in Toronto. Then, on such a stretch of the road, she felt that her expensive costume looked like "a stoppage, shouting 'come and rob me,'" and she ran all the way.
In the video, Kizemchuk describes a cold, rainy night after the shoot ended, saying, "I wrapped my head in an LV scarf and carried an LV duffel bag with all my shoes, makeup, and other things. I'm wearing a Gucc with a black Burberry leather coat on top. ”
"I have to say that when walking down the street, I realized for the first time that in downtown Toronto, I really was like a lamb to the slaughter, and it wasn't appropriate to run around like this, and I needed to keep a low profile so that I wouldn't get noticed."
She said she was "nervous" and felt the need to run two blocks to get to the car. And she kept looking and listening to all directions, for fear that someone would suddenly pop up from somewhere.
"I felt like a stop to a robber, shouting 'come and rob me.'"
Kizemchuk continued, "It's the first time I've felt this way in the beautiful city of Toronto, where I grew up but don't know the city anymore. ”
Toronto netizens are also unable to say anything about the current law and order situation.
Someone said, "Unfortunately, crime is increasing everywhere." If you're on the streets of downtown Toronto and you're wearing a name tag from head to toe, you're sure to get some people's attention, and you're lucky not to be robbed. Sadly, the situation is the same in all large cities, if not worse. “
"I was also worried when I walked out of the parking lot near Yonge and Queen, afraid of being attacked."
"It's so real!"
"It's sad~"
"I used to work in Toronto due to the pandemic, but moved out of Toronto a few years ago. When I recently returned to Toronto, I was really shocked by how chaotic the streets were, and I really hoped that the beautiful and peaceful city would come back to us. “
"This is Trudeau's Canada. Soft on criminals, criminals have more rights than law-abiding citizens who pay taxes. Things got really scary! “
What do you think of security in Toronto today?
