I've also been told the key difference between a Land Rover, and a door-to-door salesman is you can close the door on the latter.

I get the joke, but LRs/RRs had the top theft rates in Canada, for shipping overseas.

Like, 4% theft rate per year nationwide. 1 in every 25 jacked in a year: https://www.equiteassociation.com/top-10-archives/top-10-mos...

And pushed 7% in Ontario: https://www.equiteassociation.com/top-10-archives/top-10-mos...

(And not those stupid “Honda Civic is the most stolen car” publications that fail to control for popularity. When you do, Civics are middle of the pack).

Of course the industry only published the frequency rates for a few years because it probably didn’t instil the fear factor that journalists failed to point out in their slop.
