Auto Theft
Auto Theft is the nation's no. 1 property crime, costing more than $7.6 billion each year. Second only to drug dealing, auto theft is the next most profitable criminal activity. The fact is, we are not going to great enough lengths to protect our cars from the dangers of auto theft. Typical car alarms put most consumers' minds at ease about the safety of their vehicles. Unfortunately, professional car thieves are well-versed in methods of bypassing car alarms, leaving the average vehicle easily susceptible to vehicle theft.
Auto Theft Statistics
- Auto theft occurs every 25.5 seconds in the U.S. That's about 1.2 million cars a year.
- One of every 170 registered vehicles is taken in an auto theft each year (NICB.org).
- The average value per vehicle is approximately $6,173 at the time the auto theft occurs.
- Only 12.6 percent of motor vehicle thefts are cleared by an arrest.
The numbers add up; law enforcement has been largely ineffective at preventing auto theft and even less effective at recovering stolen cars. Part of the problem is that auto thefts are often not reported for hours or days after the crime occurs. If a stolen car is not recovered within days, the chances are slim that the vehicle will be found intact, if at all.
