A family from Ontario says their SUV was stolen from a hotel parking lot in Montreal while the family was on a March break vacation down south.
It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation for Trisha Longetin and her family.
"We worked all year to go on this trip and then it was ruined for several days at the end," she said.
On March 8, Longetin, her husband and two children drove their year-old Toyota Highlander from Ontario to Montreal–Trudeau International Airport.
She said they spent the night before their flight at the Sheraton Montreal Airport Hotel, opting to park in its private parking lot near a security camera.
"We put a security club on it. We parked in their private parking lot that had a security bar, which they called a two-ticket system. So we felt very secure," Longetin.
Partway through their vacation in the Dominican Republic, Longetin said she started receiving notifications on her phone through her car's app that the windows were down.
