Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has sparked controversy by attributing the surge in car thefts in the state to automobiles being 'too easy to steal' and specifically targeting two automakers for investigation. Ellison emphasized, "We've got to make sure that the automobiles are not so easy to steal," drawing criticism from various quarters, with some accusing him of deflecting responsibility from criminals to the manufacturers. The AG's stance suggests a shift towards holding manufacturers accountable for making their cars less 'tempting' for potential young thieves.
