Montreal is extremely bad for auto thefts. The overall thefts / capita may not be as high as other parts of Canada, but thefts in Montreal are run by organized crime networks that specifically target vehicles with American plates. I live in northern Vermont, and there has been a lot of news coverage about this over the last couple years.

"According to the CISC, organized crime groups involved in vehicle-related crime operate primarily out of Montréal and Toronto (CISC, 2008). Montréal not only reported the highest number of motor vehicle thefts in the country, but this city also had the lowest recovery rate. Toronto recorded the second highest number of motor vehicle thefts, but a recovery rate that was closer to the national average. In Winnipeg, where "joy-riding" is known to be prevalent, the large majority (82%) of stolen motor vehicles were recovered by police"
