If you're road-tripping to Canada, keep an eye out for AirTags, which

What's so special about stealing cars in Canada, vs. stealing them in
the USA?

 
 The port of Montreal is used to ship stolen cars in containers to
 Africa, South America and the Middle East.  This has resulted in a lot
 of auto theft over the past decade in the Toronto/Montreal corridor.
 
 

May US citizens shoot thiefs on sight, while in Canada owners are asked
to hand them over the papers as well and keep the cars unlocked for
easier access?

 
 You pack a lot of nonsense into a few words.

Apparently so does the Toronto Constabulary. They got shamed for it
and had to back track.

   Toronto police backtrack on advice to leave car keys 'at
   your front door' to prevent being attacked at home
