The solution is easy and simple. Legislation that requires manufactures to include technology and or mechanical devices that make auto theft next to impossible. Stops auto theft and keeps people out of jail.

This may seem a little beside the point, but it's interesting to note that car thieves tend to leave EVs alone, because the cars are shipped overseas and sold in places that lack EV charging infrastructure. So buying EVs rather than gasoline-fueled cars can protect you against theft. Unfortunately, EVs tend to be less affordable. I heard recently that car companies are making them unaffordable on purpose, because that's more profitable for them. This is something the government could address with legislation, or perhaps a publicly-owned EV factory. It would help the working class as well as the environment.

Car thefts have been at a record low. This is a non-important issue that has gained traction due to a right wing conservative government spreading fear about a cohort of people that they want voting for them.
