Leave car keys at home door to avoid being attacked: Policeman to Canadians on car thefts

A Toronto Police officer Marco Ricciardi told residents to leave their car keys at the door to avoid being attacked inside homes by thieves. "A lot of them...have guns on them and they are not toy guns," he added. After criticism, Toronto Police said, "While well-meaning, there are other ways to prevent auto theft-motivated home invasions."
