When Maryam Ali saw a headlight on her car turn on in the middle of the night, she knew something wasn’t right — and rushed out to confront two car thieves, screaming at them.
Her surveillance video shows the thieves scatter — a small victory in the fight against surging thefts — and also shows in detail a tactic that security experts believe they have identified and can fight with new security standards.“I saw the light in my car go on. And right away, something clicked. I said, ‘This is not happening to me,’” Ali told CTV News Toronto in an interview at her Pickering, Ont., home.
“They’re injecting their software through the CAN wires into the vehicle and then hacking it,” Jaipaul said as he watched the video with CTV News Toronto. George Borlase of UL Standards & Engagement says the agency’s new standard, ULC 338: Vehicle Theft Deterrent Equipment and System was published in July 2023.
Jaipaul told CTV News Toronto he is convinced that a mass-produced theft deterrent is too predictable to stop thieves. “I came back at four in the afternoon to the spot where I thought my car was and it wasn’t there. I think I cried. I was so upset,” she said. Montreal, which was named a UNESCO city of design in 2006, has long been known as a haven for artists, thanks to its vibrant culture scene and rock-bottom rents. But as rents rise and former industrial neighbourhoods are redeveloped, some artists are being priced out or evicted as the community searches for creative solutions.The Montreal police is once again investigating gunshots heard by residents during the night, this time in the Côte-des-Neiges--Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough.
