Land Cruisers are easily stolen.

Here is all that is left of my baby. Keys were with me. Gone in a matter of seconds and Toyota cannot locate the vehicle. Be careful out there.

Stolen from the Hyatt Place in Mississauga, ON.

Sorry this happened to you, hope they find the bastards!

 

[batchelor22]

That’s brutal, sorry that happened to you.

 

[Bluey]

That’s terrible, I am so sorry.

 

[TLC]

That sucks man. Sorry. I wonder how this even happens? I thought new cars couldn't be hot-wired like old ones.

 

[jumpin]

Sad for you. It's mind boggling too.

 

[Siblue]

Unfortunately most cars with smart key/push to start are easily accessible. Sorry to hear about your LC.

Super bummer! Sorry!
I hid an AirTag in mine….

When we insured ours recently, it was relatively expensive versus our other vehicles and the insurer gave the excuse that it was because it was higher theft risk. I assumed that was just a Toronto excuse. Sorry for your loss. Hope it was well insured

 

[BossEvelope]

That’s terrible, I’m so sorry. What’s can we do to help prevent this? Steering wheel lock?

 

[GandOsDad]

If it is that easy...... the insurance premiums might start ticking up..... I will say for me (married, kids, 40) the 2025 quote I got was only $50/mon more than my current 2014 Honda CRV.


Sidenote: If anyone wants to drive a REAL suv...... come buy my rusty 10 year old base model

These cars are not easily stolen. Wonder if it was towed away. Any cameras?

Yes, tow trucks/flat beds can take most any vehicle.

 

[NoMe cruiser]

You were in Ontario? It’s gone, sorry but you won’t see it again. Taken with a flatbed for sure. They probably followed you until you parked and got out of site. Many Canadian cities known for this. Angels probably run that racket.

Terrible. I'm using this at hotel overnights:

Disklok

LC uses a small. disklok. I also got the DE 86515 Black Steering Wheel Protection Cover

What?? This is terrible!! How? What makes them easy to steal? Assume all locked up with alarm set?
I am sure the police are involved - have you been able to review the hotels cameras to see what exactly happened?
Very sorry.

 

[DoMoCruiser24]

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully insurance resolves the issue swiftly.

Any car is easily stolen.

I blame Hollywood for Romanticizing “hot wiring” as the predominant method to steal a vehicle.

The easiest and fastest is to just tow it away. Renders alarms, kill switch, LoJack, those stupid steering wheel locks, etc useless
