Manitoba Public Insurance says that 90 percent of stolen vehicles in the province involved the use of keys and that they are preventable.
With the colder temperatures many vehicle owners may be tempted to leave their vehicles unattended while warming up and stolen vehicles are often driven erratically putting people’s safety at risk.
MPI would like to remind drivers to never leave your vehicle unlocked or unattended while its running, never leave your keys in your vehicle, and ensure that your vehicle is locked when you are not around.
