We have the list of most stolen vehicles across all of Ontario.

The list was put together Équité Association and it highlights the top targets by thieves who most commonly use a method called ‘Relay Theft’. They trick the vehicle’s keyless entry system by relaying the signal from your fob, using a relay theft device that amplifies the signal from your fob that is sitting at the front of the house, typically by the front-door.
