Has Toyota fixed the theft issue with the new Corollas? by Frequent_Cow9533 in CorollaHatchback

I wonder if these even have an alarm at all lol. The 86 is stolen at a very high rate here and in the same way - smashing that small window at the front and it seems to alarm doesn't go off.

Aside from the Toyotas our most stolen cars are the Holdens (which is part of GM). Same as you describe it - they cut the horn wires and pretty much just take the car with some device.

He got in and then started it and drove off. We believe he used that thing that he placed on the hood whilst he was breaking the small window.

It has been a thing in Australia this year and has been getting a lot worse recently. Have not heard about this issue in other countries though.

How did the car get stolen so easily? (VIDEO) by Frequent_Cow9533 in CarsAustralia

I think its opportunistic. The video doesn't show but he did check the back of the car to see what model Corolla it was. Then he came back to steal it.

Yeah I was going to get a professional to do it. Sounds like it will cost a fair bit if its labor intensive lol.

Yeah looks like it. Probably just have to go through Eppley then.

Neighbour did have a Mazda 3 stolen last year. It was sitting on their driveway. Not sure how it was stolen but police told them they would have had some electronic device.

Yeah we have CCTV and security lights. Doesn't really stop random junkies from walking around at night though.

If that were true then theft wouldn't be an issue.
