The numbers are staggering. In Ontario alone, more than 50 vehicles are stolen every single day. For governments of all levels, combating the problem has become a top priority. Premier Doug Ford recently warned car thieves everywhere that “we’re coming after you,” and this week, the Trudeau government pledged $15-million to fight the growing problem across the country. Joining us this week to explain the gravity of the crisis — and why it’s gotten so much worse in recent years — is Bryan Gast, a former OPP officer and now vice-president of investigative services at Équité Association. Gast also offers some handy tips on how car owners can better protect their wheels from wily thieves. Also on the show: A trip down memory lane with some of Village Media’s most memorable Random Acts of Kindness.
