A comparison of theft and break-in numbers between Vancouver and Toronto however, is like night and day. That year Toronto had 388 break-ins and is many times larger than Vancouver. The number of break-and-enter cases in Vancouver was an astounding 1,192 - four times as many in number but Vancouver's population is 578,000 while Toronto holds over 2,503,000 souls, making the differential a factor of 20 times more of these crimes.
