the companies failed to install a basic anti-theft technology

Failed to install or weighed the cost of not installing it and kept the profit?

Was it a requirement by law? Obviously not as this seems to be an America thing. So why not change the laws and mandate antithetical devices in cats

Technically no, but standards do dictate that measures to prevent unauthorized use be present so I imagine those legal battles will be around that second part, especially with immobilizers being practically standard for every other manufacturer. Changing the laws will be a tough part, we can’t even get reasonable automotive lighting laws on the books or enforced.

This is a law in Canada and to my knowledge these kinds of thefts aren’t happening here. This should be an easy fix.
