Guys I am feeling a bit disappointed . On 2 separate occasions, I caught car thieves on my street ,personally chasing them away but found little action from police. I live in the West Island and have noticed that there is a LOT of car thieving going on here.

My street has been targeted 8-10 times in the past 1.5 years. Adding to that my street loves to drive all the big Jpanese SUV's ( Lexus SUV's , Honda CRV's ,Pilots, Toyota 4 Runner, Rav4, Highlander , ... and German Porsche SUV's).

My street loves high dollar SUV's and being stupid. i. Don't want to put it in the garage, or have ii. motion lights with iii. wifi cameras ring/arlo or iv. auto clubs or blocking driveway with truck etc parked sideways.

Adding to that frustration of police doing little to act.


First incident, I drove by a man wearing a covid mask at midnight on my street I though that's weird he's wearing a mask on the open street WTF ? I turn around and high beam the guy see he's crouching breaking into my friend (neighbour's) Lexus, sees me high beaming him + lookout car guy bolts. I give chase and get license plates, then next day confirm with the police station in Kirkland the lookout car's plate is the same make and model at the vehicle I observed and informed the police with my neighbour.
Nothing happened, I don't think an investigator ever called my neighbour back. ( I stopped asking after 2-3 weeks).


Second incident : in the recent past I don't want to be specific. I notice a "lookout car" that several of my neighbours talk about. I noticed a RAV4 pull up behind them again at midnight-ish. As I was putting away trash bins, I slowly drove up both bolted.While I give chase lookout car is trying to block me from following the stolen SUV. I call 911 while following them, tell them he's driving down saint-charles, towards pierrefonds...... I see the police driving away in the complete opposite direction . 911 Operator is giving me shit for following, telling me to stop. I tell them the police are going the wrong way! 911 operator says they will find them. I stop 6 minutes later I get a call from the police asking where the last place I saw them. I told them you are driving the wrong way . I felt so frustrated I give up . At that point I said I won't even bother giving plates of the look out car to the police. Everyone is lazy the system is fucked.

My 2 cents.


EDIT: In incident #1, I was actually able to stop them before they cloned an electronic key and drove off. However my neighbour, got nothing from the insurance company because they only broke his locking mechanism by screw drivering/ slim jimming the SUV which isn't covered.

Won't be long before you get carjacked before you can even park thanks to Trudeau's out of hand immigration.
 
La police sont malheureusement pas là pour arreter des crimes en cours. Ils sont là pour donner des tickets et venir remplir un rapport APRÈS que le crime soit arrivé.

Already happening in the GTA

But honestly the cops can’t do much in the OPs case as no laws were broken. Yea out of place and he did chase them away but in the eyes of the law nothing happened. However that doesn’t mean that the info given won’t get passed up the chain of command

Unfortunately car theft in Montreal will always be a problem given our geography. Large population, lots of nicer cars and major inland port

Tu veux qu'il fasse quoi anyway? Ce monde la ne s'arrêtent pas pour la police et ils n'ont pas le droit de faire de poursuite pour ce type de crime là..
 
By the way in another recent incident not related to this thread , another neighbour communicated to me that when his suv was broken into last week , thieves used wifi jammers to block ring cameras .

So no notifications on the cell phone
 
Lol the neighbourhood thief is using a jammer to steal sunglasses and loose change from a car. Sure… More like your neighbour didn’t lock the car and doesn’t want to admit it.

Wifi jammer are not expensive. Most people have wifi camera. If I was a thief I would use one.

Yea the local crackhead is investing in wifi jammers because he cares so much even though they’re already known to the cops. This is like my neighbour trying to tell me they used a “special scanner” to open her door and steal her purse

Then I checked my camera and the door was unlocked

This reminds me of the “battery detectors” the media claimed thieves were using to steal laptops. Right

La police doit les prendre sur le fait sinon il n'y a rien à faire. Est-ce une bonne idée d'intervenir en tant que bon samaritain? Risquer de se blesser, de passer un weekend au poste ou même être poursuivi pour un vol de voiture?!? Pour sauver la vie d'une personne OK mais pas pour un bien qui est assuré.

Ça me rappelle la fois que j'ai intervenu sur un vol à l'étalage. Un témoin pas rapport qui pensait que j'était l'agresseur alors que je tenais le voleur au sol. Parce que le voleur était une femme et moi un homme, la policière m'a littéralement engueulé comme quoi que je ne devait pas m'en mêler. Disons que c'est décourageant.

Grâce à la technologie, c'est désormais facile et rapide de voler un véhicule moderne sans laisser aucune trace. Il y avait un article aux nouvelles la semaine dernière. Tu dépenses pas loin de 300$ pour te stationner à l'aéroport en pensant que tu es en sécurité mais en réalité, c'est l'endroit idéal pour voler une voiture sans surveillance car tu sais très bien que le propriétaire est absent.

First off Alex Trebek has passed away. Look maybe in saint bullshit where you live ie where there is more cows than people, this sort of thing is rare, but in the West Island, where every second home has a Japanese SUV, yes this is a problem
You only have to read the newspapers .

For someone that works in the auto industry and who has links to the West Island, I find this comment extremely dumb. First off, it's an imbecile comment to say that "the local crackhead is investing in wifi jammers " when you clearly know or working in cars ought to know its not crackheads organizing car theft rings it's professional gangs, who boost cars with a lookout car, take it to a chop shop or load the car on to a container at the Port of Montreal destined for Lebabnon/Nigeria/Sudan etc.
Second, the neighbour that said this to me, has had his CRV stolen once, that's why he has the motion lights, the ring camera, so he is taking defensive measures. I suspect that the wifi jammer isn't to block grainy footage of the car thieves, it's to stop the owner getting a iPhone/Android notification on their smart phone while lying in bed, and thus quietly calling 911.

That’s funny because we all find your comments extremely dumb I work in the West Island. I don’t live or hangout there or even shop there

My neighbour had her new RDX stolen. It took 2-3 mins and they were gone. They are gone before you even get out of bed

You mention your neighbour crv was broken into but only now elaborate it might have been an attempted theft

The CRV was stolen once for the infotainment system. They left the car in the east end minus the screen which is like 3K apparently . In the recent past they tried again, he has a ring camera and motion lights. He said they were using jammers hence the camera caught nothing.
