Why Torontonians are facing a ‘staggering’ spike in auto thefts — and what police are doing about it

Patricia Li’s year began with the theft of a Lexus NX 300 from her Toronto home — but that was just the beginning of her troubles.

Five months later, thieves returned in the middle of the night for her other vehicle, a Lexus RX 450, but this time they weren’t as lucky.

After the first theft in February, Li installed a video camera that captured footage of three people attempting to break into the car.

I wonder if the Ferguson effect plays a role?
